The ruins of the luxurious Imperial Roman Palace Felix Romuliana lie in the village of Gamzigrad, south of the Danube, 11 km from Zaječar and 238 km from Belgrade.This archaeological site covers the surface of 6,5 hectares. 

Felix Romuliana was built by the Roman Emperor Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus to glorify his victory over Persians that brought him admiration and glory. Galerius, who was born in this area, raised the palace in the 3^rd and 4^th centuries in honour of himself and his mother Romula, after whom he named it. 

The palace is surrounded by impressive walls which protected the town itself from barbarian attacks. The remains have been discovered of both an older and a more recent fortification, built over a period of some ten years. The northern half includes the imperial palace complex, with its small temple and monumental altar. In the southern half are buildings for public use.
