Many places and 3 countries - Part III - Gamzigrad (Felix Romuliana) and Zajecar

Felix Romuliana is one of the most brilliant example of Roman architecture. It is located 11 kilometers from Zajecar and was built by the Roman Emperor Galerius (293-311 AD). Unique archeological findings were discovered in the palace: a portrait of the emperor Galerius, mosaics with representations of the imperial hunt and the Dionysus on a feats, sculptures of Hercules and Jupiter. The palace was listed on UNESCO World culturla and Naural Heritage in 2007. 

It is for sure one of the most preserved representations of the Roman Empire, very often considered as surpassing other monuments of the period, in Trier, Milan, Thessaloniki, Istanbul and Nicomedia.

It is really impresive by its size and by the preservation  of the site. A MUST for people interested in archeology, history of that time...
