The Roman tomb with frescoes is one of the most brilliant monuments of tomb architecture not only in Bulgaria but also in the Balkans in late antiquity. It was discovered by chance in 1942 on the southern outskirts of Silistra, where the necropolis of Durostorum is developing.

 It is remarkable in that its entire interior is covered with murals. The main stage is a kind of procession of maids who wear items of costume and toiletries and go to the master couple. Peacocks and pigeons are depicted on both lunettes, and the vault is decorated with animal figures, plants and hunting scenes. The tomb dates back to the late reign of Emperor Constantine I the Great. It was built and frescoed for a prominent citizen of Durostorum, but was never used.
