The Palace of Galerius in eastern Serbia is a fortified palace complex and monumental complex of the late Roman period, built by Emperor Caius Valerius Galerius Maximianus in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. It was called Felix Romuliana, named after the emperor's mother. The site includes fortifications, a palace in the northwest of the complex, a basilica, a temple, a thermal bath, a monumental complex and a tetrapylon. The uniqueness of the complex lies in its intertwined monumental functions of ceremonial and religious architecture.
