Mosaic of Sirmium - A Tapestry of Heritage

The story

The community-engaged floor mural is a vibrant and educational project that celebrates the Roman heritage of your town while engaging the local community.

This mural is not painted but crafted with chalk, reminiscent of the ancient Roman mosaic artistry that once graced the floors of grand villas and public spaces in town of Sremska Mitrovica. What makes this mural truly special is its community-engaged nature. Local residents of all ages have come together to contribute to its creation, each adding their unique touch to this collective masterpiece. Whether they’re carefully tracing the outlines of Roman laurel wreaths or delicately shading geometric patterns reminiscent of Roman architecture, every participant leaves their mark on the mosaic, weaving their stories into the fabric of our town’s history.

Through this immersive experience, our community not only celebrates our Roman heritage but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy that shapes our town’s identity. The Roma Mosaic serves as a testament to the power of art, education, and collaboration to unite us across generations and honor our shared history.

This project was realized in cooperation with the Tourism Organization (TOSM).
