Till this time there is only one such building , richly decorated with marble, discovered on Bulgarian lands - villa Armira near Ivailovgrad.

There were colorful wall paintings over the marble wall socket - just like the houses in Pompeii, as well as mosaics on the floor, which unfortunately were found broken.
