The old town

Radul-beg’s residence is a branch of the National Museum. Its upper floor presents old Zaječar and gives a sense of domestic life beyond the main square.

From museum to palace

The museum and the archaeological site are in different locations. See the portable finds in town, then look for the fortified walls and the layout of the palace at Gamzigrad.
