The excavations that initially started to rebuild after the earthquake the historical high school of Durrës, “Gjergj Kastrioti”, discovered an archaeological structure unique to Albania and consisting of 16 rooms, and at least 4 swimming pools.
Decorated with 5 mosaics, it may have been a large luxurious villa, but perhaps also a temple. However, this archaeological discovery is a new opportunity for Durrës and Albania to have a new archaeological pole.
Learn more about this discovery through the video above and interviews with archaeologist Luan Përzhita, who led the research project, and archaeologist Berbis Islami, who focused on the discovered mosaics.
