Mosaic of Tirana is a unique piece of art not found in the coastline where usualy civilitation was established in the first centuries of our era. Thought to be part of a Roman house and clasified from the arceologist that discovered the site as the third century AC, the mosaic still resist and it is well conserved and fenced to be protected as a part of arceological and cultural heritage of Tirana city as a capital of Albania. Since 73, the site is proclamed as culture monument and included in the list of arceological sites of Albania.

Small villa floor protected with a metal roof in suburban Tirana. Better mosaics in the national museum, not worth going out of your way to see.

The mosaic is amazing and very beautiful but it's really bad conserved. When I was there they were building something made by concrete on the historical wall. For me this is a damage to all the humanity because we should preserve our history and not build on it. I was so disappointed this was one of most beauty things in Tirana and they don't valorate it. They should treat it like a treasure amd for me that I'm from Rome this broke my heart.

It's value for tourism in Tirana.A part of this mosaic is discovered. During this year are working for all discovering of this mosaic like national treasure.

The ancient Tirana Mosaic it is believed to have been part of a 3rd century Roman house, referred to by local archeologists as the 'Villa rustica'. Later, in the 5th and 6th centuries, a Paleo-Christian Basilica was built around this site. It was declared a cultural monument of the first category in June 1973. The ruins of this Paleo-Christian Basilica were discovered in 1972. In 2002, some other objects were found around the ruins of the house, and today they form the Archaeological Complex of the Mosaic of Tirana.

These ancient Roman sites are truly worth hunting out and visiting. There was no admission fee.

(Translated by Google) I visited it with my family. We come from Ravenna for this was one of the main points of interest of our holiday. Considering the historical and cultural value it is really a pity to find such a precarious state of conservation. For mosaics, a covering like the existing one that protects in a minimal part from the climate is not enough but they should be further protected by glass plates so as to avoid wear and color changes of the same. However beautiful! (Original) L'ho visitato con la mia famiglia. Veniamo da Ravenna per questo è stato uno dei principali punti di interesse della nostra vacanza. Considerando il valore storico e culturale è davvero un peccato trovare uno stato conservativo così precario. Per i mosaici non è sufficiente una copertura come quella esistente che ripara in minima parte dal clima ma andrebbero protetti ulteriormente da lastre di vetro così da evitare usure e cambi cromatici degli stessi. Comunque bello!

Great historical place!

One of the best hostorical places of Tirana. You can see the ancient Roman Mosaics

I happened to pass by then look up this place. I can tell you that it is smack in the middle of a lovely, lively residential neighbourhood surrounded by cafes: if you don't come for the shards of mosaics, come for that!

Construction has mosaics fenced off so couldn't get close to see.

Unfortunately the site was under construction when my friend and I came here beginning of June, but one of the construction workers sneaked us in. Very cool site and beautiful mosaic.

It was fine. Very small. You’ll probably spend less than 10 minutes there.

A good place to visit, but moslty you dont see people there. They need more marketing for this hiden treasure in Tirana

There's noone around there, so probably it is closed now

According to the authors, we have to do with a village center of the first centuries AD since the beginning of the century. III was replaced by a rural cottage (rustica). The mosaic room with an abbey was its main ambiance. The authors also think that in the nineteenth century. V-VI the place of the villa occupied a paleochristian basilica. The excavated part of the monument was surrounded and protected by the Institute of Monuments of Culture (IMK). During the years 2003-2004, the works of the systemisation of various roads and installations of the block "Partizani" discovered near the siege of the monument other parts of the complex. The most important here were the tubs of fermentation of grape must, but also other parts of the walls in two different points.

It's a very interesting little piece of history.

Free and many items to view.

The Mosaic of Tirana is located in an ancient archaeological site, which used to be a Roman villa with mosaic, which dates back in the 1st century AD, perhaps an agricultural roman complex (rustica).

New to me too. Colourfull

It is an interesting visit but don't expect too much

A very nice historical place, easy to find and enjoyable to see.

(Translated by Google) The mosaic in itself represents not only a cultural and artistic value but is important because it testifies to the existence of social life already in antiquity in the Tirana area. The mosaic is part of a rustic Roman villa of the second century after Christo. However until now only this villa has been found and there are no other excavations to highlight if it was an insula (urban area). Historically Tirana (which means Ti-r-ana = të rri anash-- stand on the sides of the river) as an urban center is documented at the beginning of the 17th century, the year 1610 recognizes the construction of the first mosque, pazzar, hamam, the baker and other typical Muslim constructions made by Sulejman Pasha Bargjini an Albanian noble part of the Ottoman administration. (Original) Il mosaico in se rapresenta non solo un valore culturale e di arte ma é importante perche testimonia l'esistenza della vita sociale gia dall antichita nella zona di Tirana. Il mosaico e parte di una villa rustica alla romana dell secondo secolo doppo Christo. Comunque fin ora solo questa villa e stata trovata e non ci sono altri scavi per evidenziare se e stata un insula( zona urbana ) . Storicamente Tirana( che vuol dire Ti-r-ana = të rri anash-- stare ai lati dell fiume) come centro urbano si documenta agli inizi dell 17 secolo, anno1610 si riconosce la costruzione della prima moschea , pazzar, hamam, il fornaio e altri tipici costruzzioni musulmani fatti dall Sulejman Pasha Bargjini un nobile albanese parte dell administrazzione ottomana.

A great place to visit while passing by the neighborhood. An unusual location for a landmark in Tirana but well worth visiting!

(Translated by Google) The mosaic of Tirana is the only archeological monument within the territory of the city of Tirana. In 1972, during the work on building the blocks of the "Partizani" block in the neighborhood no. 9 of the city of Tirana, the ruins of an antique building were discovered, one of which was paved with mosaics. According to the authors, we are dealing with a village center of the first centuries AD since the beginning of the century. III was replaced by a rural cottage (rustica). An equipped mosaic room and an apside were its main ambience. The authors also think that in the twentieth century. V-VI the place of the villa occupied a Paleochristian basilica.

Më kryesoret këtu ishin vaskat e fermentimit të mushtit të rrushit, por edhe pjesë të tjera muresh në dy pika të ndryshme.

An interesting, albeit very small and hard to locate, museum. Judging by the ambitious plans on display however, that should change in the near (?) future.

One star not for the fact that the site is not accessible, as correctly indicated, but rather for the arrangement of the works barriers which totally prevent one from seeing, at least from afar, the mosaic dotted in the space between the original protective barrier and the construction barrier works, with the typical green tarp, there is a space of at least 4 meters, occupied by machines, even though no one is working. It is right to carry out maintenance on these treasures, but it could be done in a more intelligent way, allowing, at least from afar, to be able to glimpse it.

Very lush, in the process of restoration and conservation. There is no ticket, located between the blocks, but you can ask people on the street and they will help you.

Looks amazing, but there was nobody to let us in when we've arrived during opening hours. 😢

sight seeing of tirana 👍🏻

Not open at this time of the year, coz the turist season is just slowly picking up?

(Translated by Google) Tirana Mosaic is the only archaeological monument within the territory of the city of Tirana. In 1972, during the work for the construction of the palaces of the "Partizani" block in the neighborhood no. 9 of the city of Tirana, the ruins of an antique building were discovered, one of the premises of which was paved with mosaic. III was replaced by a rustic villa (rustica). The hall with mosaic equipped and with an apse was its main environment. The authors also think that in the century. V-VI the place of the villa was taken by a Paleo-Christian basilica. The excavated part of the monument was fenced and put under protection by the Institute of Cultural Monuments (IMK). During the years 2003-2004, the works of arranging the roads and various installations of the “Partizani” block revealed other parts of the complex near the perimeter of the monument. The most important here were the fermentation tubs of grape must, but also other parts of the walls at two different points. Inside this complex were discovered three tombstones of the Roman period. Recent excavations have reinforced the view that we are dealing with a rural villa, while no evidence has been found of the transformation into a Paleo-Christian basilica supported by the authors of the first excavation of the 1970s. Conventionally, the archeological site is named and known as the "Mosaic of Tirana" (Original) Mozaiku i Tiranës është i vetmi monument arkeologjik brenda territorit të qytetit të Tiranës. Në vitin 1972, gjatë punës për ndërtimin e pallateve të bllokut “Partizani” në lagjen nr. 9 të qytetit të Tiranës, u zbuluan rrënojat e një ndërtese antike, njëri nga ambientet e të cilit ishte i shtruar me mozaik.Sipas autorëve, kemi të bëjmë me një qendër fshatare të shekujve të parë pas Krishtit që në fillim të shek.

Më kryesoret këtu ishin vaskat e fermentimit të mushtit të rrushit, por edhe pjesë të tjera muresh në dy pika të ndryshme.Brenda këtij kompleksi u zbuluan tre stela varresh të periudhës romake. Gërmimet e fundit përforcuan mendimin se kemi të bëjmë me një vilë fshatare, ndërkohë që nuk është gjetur asnjë e dhëne për transformimin në bazilikë paleokristiane të mbështetur nga autorët e gërmimit të parë të viteve ’70. Në mënyrë konvencionale, siti arkeologjik është emërtuar dhe njihet me emrin “Mozaiku i Tiranës”

Beautiful GEM not so crowded

(Translated by Google) The Mosaic of Tirana is located on the road "Naim Frashëri", which is the oldest monument in Tirana. The researchers think that we are dealing with a Roman villa dating back to the 3rd century AD, where the main floor is decorated with mosaics. Later, the facility is adapted and used as a Paleochristian church, beginning in the middle of the fourth century and onwards. Mosaics mainly contain geometric motifs, but also typical motifs of early Christianity. (Original) Mozaiku i Tiranës ndodhet në rrugën “Naim Frashëri”, i cili është monumenti më i vjetër në Tiranë. Studiuesit mendojnë se kemi të bëjmë me një vilë të periudhës romake të shekullit III pas Krishtit, ku dyshemeja e ambienteve kryesore është e zbukuruar me mozaikë. Më vonë, objekti përshtatet dhe përdoret si kishë paleokristiane, duke filluar nga mesi i shekullit IV e në vazhdim. Mozaikët përmbajnë kryesisht motive gjeometrike, por edhe motive tipike të krishtërimit të hershëm.
