Roman tomb

The tomb features six symmetrical niches on its four walls, with a vaulted ceiling reaching 2.35 meters in height and a total length of 4.2 meters.

Built during the second half of the 4th century AD, this family tomb represents the architectural achievements and burial practices of the late Roman period in Bulgaria.

The interior walls display painted floral patterns, while the floor contains a colorful geometric mosaic design, making it the only Roman tomb in Bulgaria with such floor decoration.

Located 300 meters southwest of the Diocletianopolis fortress walls near the Momina Salza mineral spring, the tomb includes a corridor and burial chamber accessible to visitors.

The tomb entrance features a sloped corridor extending 8.6 meters at a 35-degree angle, leading to a rectangular chamber containing two constructed funeral beds.
