Qasr Libya
Qasr Libya is a small archaeological town in northeastern Libya, northwest of Al Bayda. In ancient times it was called Olbia and later Theodorias. The site became well known after mosaics and church remains were found there in the 1950s, and a small museum now shows many of those mosaics.
The town has important Byzantine and late Roman remains, including two early Christian basilicas with exceptionally rich floor and wall mosaics. These mosaics show animals, mythic scenes and decorative panels that give a vivid picture of local art and life in late antiquity.
A small local museum displays about fifty mosaic panels rescued from nearby ruins. The collection is one of the best early Christian mosaic groups in the Cyrenaica region.
