Museum of Mosaics, Devnya

The Museum of Mosaics preserves floor decorations from a Roman villa covering 1,409 square meters with 21 rooms surrounding a central atrium.

Archaeological excavations in 1976 revealed a Late Roman building from the 3rd century, which became the foundation for the current museum structure.

The floors display mythological scenes, including an eight-meter square mosaic of Medusa and a representation of Zeus as a satyr pursuing Antiope.

The museum operates daily from May to September with adult admission at 4 BGN, while October through April sees reduced hours excluding weekends.

Two ancient sundials in the collection measure time, marking winter and summer solstices along with equinoxes from the Roman period.
