Szombathely - Járdányi Paulovits István Romkert

The " Járdányi Paulovits István Romkert " ruins behind the cathedral (entrance between the cathedral and priests' seminary), discovered during building work in 1938, are the heart of old Savaria. A semi-circular apse and a 25m (82ft) long mosaic (acanthus ornaments, Christian symbols) by a master from Aquileia have been preserved from the St Quirinus basilica (4th C) which was rebuilt from parts of the former governor's palace.
