The mosaic of Tirana

The Tirana Mosaic (Albanian: Mozaiku i Tiranës) is a famous Albanian landmark that is thought to have been part of a Roman house built in the third century. Later in the fifth and sixth centuries, a church was built at this site. The ruins of this Paleo-Christian Basilica were discovered in 1972. Today, the Byzantine church displays some of the ancient mosaics discovered at the site that feature diverse geometrical patterns and depict poultry and fish.It has been re-opened for public on 23 January 2010.
