A rare mosaic is now added to the unique monuments of the city of Durrës.
A part of it came to light during the works for opening the foundations for the reconstruction of the "Gjergj Kastrioti" high school.
According to archaeologist prof. dr. Luan Perzhita, who leads the work for this archaeological discovery, this is a very rare mosaic not only for our country, but for the entire Balkan region.

This mosaic composed of dark blue and white stones with geometric and floral figures belongs to the end of the 1st century and the beginning of the 2nd century and is part of a luxurious villa that was located near the Durrës amphitheater.
So far, some parts of this mosaic have been discovered, which is thought to have an area of about 60 square meters.

In addition to the mosaic, a 3-meter-high part of the wall on the eastern side, as well as several other objects, was discovered. This is a very rare archaeological discovery that adds to the extraordinary cultural heritage of our city.
The work of archaeologists will continue until the complete discovery of all archaeological objects in this area.
