The Villa of the Birds is an early Roman period house located in the architectural site of Kom el Dikka in Alexandria, Egypt. Kom el Dikka is home to some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in Egypt (4th through 7th centuries CE) and includes residential and commercial areas, bathhouses and a theatre. The villa is named for the prominent group of bird mosaics that adorn the floor of the bedroom. The depiction of birds is a unique feature and one of the few figural mosaics from Alexandria’s Roman period to survive to the present day.
In 1998, ARCE began a project to conserve and protect these valuable mosaics. The work was carried out in collaboration with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Polish-Egyptian Preservation Mission, the Polish Center of Archaeology and Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.
