Haleplibahçe Mosaic Museum
Haleplibahçe Mozaik Müzesi
A museum built over the site of a Roman villa, displaying fine mosaics including scenes of the Amazon queen's hunt and the life of Achilles.
In 2006, the remains of a Roman and Byzantine aristocratic villa were discovered beside the Archaeological Museum. The museum building stands directly above the site, and visitors look down from walkways onto the mosaic floors in their original positions. The most famous mosaics depict an Amazon queen's hunt and scenes from the life of Achilles. It shares a complex with the Archaeological Museum, and a combined ticket allows about 2 hours for the visit.
