Феликс Ромулијана
A palace and memorial complex built by Roman emperor Galerius in his later years. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Felix Romuliana lies in Gamzigrad near Zaječar. It was built at the turn of the 3rd and 4th centuries by the Roman emperor Galerius to commemorate his mother and himself. The complex preserves double city walls, towers, temples and fine floor mosaics, and it was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2007. It is about 110 km from Niš along the highway, roughly 1.5 hours by car, which makes it suitable for a day trip. You can combine it with the mosaic exhibition at the Zaječar Museum.
