Villa Armira, Roman villa in Ivaylovgrad, Bulgaria

Description

Villa Armira is a Roman residential complex spanning around 978 square meters, organized around a central courtyard with marble columns, and containing living spaces, dining areas, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathing rooms. The different sections are arranged around the inner courtyard, showing the typical layout of a wealthy Roman home.

History

This residence was built during Roman times and remained inhabited until the fourth century before being abandoned. Archaeologists discovered it in 1964 through excavations and have since uncovered its layout and furnishings.

Culture

The mosaics throughout the rooms display geometric patterns that reflect the wealth and taste of those who once lived here. You can see on the walls and floors how Roman artisans showed their skill in decoration.

Practical

The excavation site is open daily and located west of town in an easily accessible area. Wear sturdy shoes as the archaeological site has uneven ground and partially exposed structures.

Did you know?

The property had an advanced heating system with underground channels that distributed warm air beneath the floors to heat rooms during winter. This shows that residents were technically skilled and valued comfort.
