The mosaic of the Paleochristian Basilica in the village of Lin, Pogradec, dates back to the 6th century. It is now open to visitors as part of the tourist season.

This morning, Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images of the mosaic. He called it another precious treasure of our cultural heritage. The mosaic reveals the ancient art and history of this fascinating area.

The mosaic is a special attraction. It invites everyone who wants to experience cultural heritage up close.

The Lin Basilica was discovered in 1967 by an expedition from the Pogradec Museum. The complex includes a nave, two chapels with apses to the south and north, a baptistery, an atrium, and a tetraconch chapel.

The entire floor is covered with mosaics. These mosaics feature geometric, plant, and animal motifs. Religious elements dominate the designs. The Lin mosaic is considered the most unique among all other mosaics with religious themes.
