Tirana Mosaic, Archaeological site in central Tirana, Albania.

The Tirana Mosaic features detailed geometric patterns alongside depictions of fish and poultry within its ancient Roman floor decorations.

The site originated as a Roman villa in the third century, followed by the construction of a Paleo-Christian basilica in the fifth century.

The archaeological complex represents a connection between Roman residential architecture and early Christian religious structures in the Tirana region.

Visitors can access the archaeological site daily to examine the preserved mosaic fragments and structural remains of both Roman and Byzantine periods.

The mosaic stands as the sole archaeological monument within Tirana's city limits, discovered during construction works in 1972.
