Pestova (archaeological site)

These villas, typical of Roman countryside residences, were characterized by their complex structures featuring multiple rooms, baths, and water storage facilities.

Typically, villae rusticae served as luxurious resting places for wealthy Roman families, providing spaces for relaxation.

The Pestova villae rusticae, likely belonging to a distinguished and affluent Furi or Ponti family from the ancient site of Ulpiana, had features such as a corridor and potentially served as a resting house.

Partial excavation efforts have uncovered foundations, walls, floor mosaics, and various artifacts like pottery, coins, and jewelry, enriching our understanding of Kosovo's cultural heritage.
