Roman Mosaics Building

Early morning right after opening is the quietest and the light falls beautifully through the windows onto the mosaics. In the summer months, it is best to come on a weekday to avoid tour groups.

About
Quick facts: The Roman mosaics cover more than 2,000 square meters, making them among the largest surviving mosaic floors in all of Europe. They were discovered by chance in 1959 during construction work, when workers stumbled upon the roofs of the ancient Roman city.
Highlights: Imagine stepping into a room where 2,000 years ago Romans wiped their feet, and these patterns remain just as vibrant today. These mosaics likely belonged to the home of a wealthy merchant, with floors depicting sea scenes and geometric patterns that have withstood the test of time.
Insider tips
- The best time for photos is in the morning between 9-10 am, when the sun illuminates the most detailed patterns.
- Keep your eyes on the floor and look for animal figures; there is even a crocodile hidden there.
- In the winter months, the museum is nearly empty, and you can enjoy the mosaics almost privately.
- Do not miss the balcony on the second floor, which offers the best overview of the entire mosaic surface.
