Roman mosaics at Mirišta

Mirišta site, Petrovac

The Roman mosaics at Mirišta bear witness to late antique Petrovac. According to the museum institution, a fragment depicting three fish with a shared head, discovered in 1902, has not survived. A larger mosaic discovered in 1941 is divided into twelve panels with geometric and plant motifs; the museum tentatively dates it to the mid-4th century and links it to the beginnings of early Christian art.

Understanding the site

The mosaics are floor decorations of a former building. The precise dating is an assumption, so we describe them as late antique, without inventing an exact year.

A visit requires confirmation

TO Budva warns that the protection and presentation of the site are incomplete. This is not a confirmed open museum with regular admission. Before visiting, contact INFO Petrovac or the responsible institution, and stay outside any closed or fenced area.

Cultural context

For a more publicly accessible cultural plan, check the Crvena komuna programme, and add the mosaics only once you have confirmation that a visit is possible.
