About This Tour

Discover one of the most valuable funerary monuments of Antiquity in Romania—the Hypogeum Painted Tomb, a true masterpiece of Roman funerary art, dating back nearly 1,700 years.

Dating from the 4th century AD, the monument impresses with its original, remarkably well-preserved murals, which depict scenes from daily life, funerary symbols, and elements specific to Greco-Roman culture. Discovered in 1988, the Hypogeum Tomb is considered one of the most important monuments of its kind in Southeast Europe.

A visit offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of ancient Tomis and to discover the history of a wealthy family from the ancient city through this unique monument, which is now protected using the most modern conservation technologies.

The experience is complemented by an exhibition space dedicated to the discovery and conservation of the monument, where visitors can learn about the historical context, painting techniques, and the significance of this site for Romania’s cultural heritage.
