Budva Archeological Sites, Villa Urbana, Roman Sites in Montenegro
The Roman villa ”Villa Urbana” was found during the laying of the foundation stone for the old hotel „Avala“ (in 1938). It is one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the old town of Budva from the times of antiquity.This was a public town building of huge dimensions, with many rooms for various purposes. A special treasure within the house is the symbolic painting of the well-known legend of the origin of Budva, from the 1st or 2nd century AD.
Unfortunately, the golden hellenic-illyric jewellery that was found in the villa was soon stolen and taken away from Montenegro.
