Gamzigrad

Gamzigrad is a town in Serbia, located south of the Danube river, near Zaječar.

In the near vicinity of the Spa there are ruins of the Roman City Felix Romuliana. Archeological diggings in the fortress have unearthed the remains of a palace with exceptionally fine mosaics, public baths and impressive city gates. The Felix Romuliana (Galerie's Palace) in Gamzigrad was the metropolis of the Roman Emperor Gai Galerie Valerie Maxmillian, in late 3rd and early 4th century.

By its findings, Gamzigrad ranks among the most representative Roman towns in the Balkans. Rich historic material (jewelry, money, tools, arms) found here bear witness of a great civilization in this region.
