The Lapidarium archaeological exhibition featuring epigraphic monuments from the Roman era is on display at the site of the ancient town of Montana, spread over an area of 700 sq.m. in the park environment of the Priests’ Garden.

The three-dimensional composition includes 56 monuments found in Montana. The inscriptions on marble are the only written sources found to date about this provincial Roman city as a new cultural phenomenon in the Bulgar­ian lands. They contain valuable information about Montana’s history and culture in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, about the ancient deities worshiped in the ancient sanctuary – the cults of Diana - the „patron goddess of Mon­tana“, Apollo, Aesculapius, Hygieia, Latona, Silvanus and other deities, about the consecrators and the mentioned military units, about the glorification of then-ruling emperors, the governors of the province of Lower Moesia and other senior military and civilians.
