Domvs Romana

This site contains the ruins of a noble residence dating back to the 1st century BC. Visitors go here to see the architectural remains of the Roman era in Malta, including mosaic floors and structural layouts. The site is historically significant as it also served as an Islamic cemetery in later periods, providing a physical record of different cultural layers in Mosta.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk through the ruins and view the preserved mosaics.
