Museum of Mosaics, Devnya, Roman villa museum in Devnya, Bulgaria
The Museum of Mosaics in Devnya preserves the floors of a Roman residential building from the 3rd century, with rooms arranged around a central courtyard. The floors display elaborate patterns and mythological scenes, including a large Medusa mosaic.
The building was constructed in the Late Roman period and was uncovered through archaeological excavations in the early 1970s. The findings reveal it was a wealthy household that was used across several centuries.
The mosaics display scenes from Greek mythology that decorated the home of wealthy Romans. Visitors can see today what stories and gods mattered to the people who lived here.
Access to the museum is through a marked entrance with clear signage throughout the archaeological site. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since the ground is uneven and the rooms remain in their original state.
The collection includes two ancient sundials that mark celestial events such as solstices and equinoxes. These rare objects show the astronomical knowledge Romans possessed about solar movement.
