Domus Romana
-
The mosaic pavements in this Roman villa rank among the most impressive and oldest mosaic compositions outside of Italy. They were discovered in 1881 just outside of Mdina in the remains of a rich and sumptuously decorated domus , an upper- class townhouse of the Roman period.
The main attraction of the villa is the atrium, covered with mosaics and enclosed by 16 columns. Among the other exhibits one can find lamps, gold and glass objects which depict the lifestyle of the Romans around the 1st Century B.C.
