Gamzigrad - Romuliana is a archeological site of great value. It is positioned near the city Zaječar in eastern Serbia. Those are the leftovers from an architecture of a Tzar's palace and a memorial complex of the romane tzar Galerije.

Since 1953 systematic archeological reasearsh and preserving is done on the site Romuliana.

The intention is to present the site Gamzigrad - Romuliana to the public in the best light. That can be done only with constant maintenance of the preserved artifacts and the with continuing the preserving on other artifacts. The project contains six different phases in preservation, presentation and organization of artifacts from the archeological site Gamzigrad, and some work on the remaning objects.
