Former
urbs of Roman province Mesia (Moesia) is situated 11km
west of town Zaječar in the valley of river Timok.
Today it is famous archeological site in Balkans. It
is the birth as well as the burial place of Roman imperator
Gaius Galerius (293-311) so this excavation site is
one of the small number of monuments of Roman court
architecture (besides Diocletian's palace in Split
and one less known palace in Sicily).
Remains of late
classical and byzantium period with outer defense wall
and 20 cylindrical towers make this complex. Special
value have well preserved floor mosaics simillar to
those in Pompei.
