...Views of a beautiful archeological site... this fortified palace represents the best preserved work of Roman architecture in Serbia... located in a valley, protected by the surrounding hills... the remains of this luxurious Imperial Roman Place offers you a glimpse of the once magnificent and truly authentic Roman palace... with impressive ruins and unique collection of archeological artefacts... in total, within the palace walls, there are the remains of 20 circular towers and two gates, thermal baths, memorial complex, a number of temples with mosaic floors (only a couple visible on the site), the best ones are in the local museum... with nice matching UNESCO stampđ... Thanks a lot Vladimir!¯\_(ă)_/¯
