The largest Roman mosaic in the world isn’t tucked away in a museum; it resides in a H๏τel, and visitors can explore it freely. Spanning an impressive 836 square meters and remarkably well-preserved, this stunning mosaic was unearthed in 2011 in Antakya, Turkey, the ancient city of Antioch.
During the excavation for the H๏τel’s construction, the mosaic came to light, leading to the creation of a unique H๏τel-Museum. The H๏τel’s basement now serves as an authentic Archaeological Park, managed by local archaeologists dedicated to preserving and showcasing this incredible find.
It is believed that this magnificent mosaic represents the remnants of the Antioch Forum, providing a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and cultural heritage of the Roman era.
Visitors can appreciate not just the beauty of the mosaic itself but also the historical significance it holds within the context of ancient Antioch.
