The archaeological town is located to the north of the small town of Bayda.\u003cbr/\u003e              The town is known for its Byzantine ruins: the first Byzantine mosaic was discovered in 1957 when a worker found a piece by mere coincidence.\u003cbr/\u003e              When the area was discovered and studied afterwards by a French professor and a team from the Libyan Antiquities Authority, they found a whole floor of the mosaic containing 50 plates, all intact, including the famous mosaic of the Alexandria lighthouse (Pharos), one of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World.\u003cbr/\u003e              Dr. Saad Al-Dalal, Dean of the Libyan Faculty of History and Civilisation and a professor of Greek and Roman History, explains how the palace actually existed centuries before the arrival of the Romans in the area, in fact the palace was built originally by the Greeks in the fourth century BC. The Byzantine Emperor Justinian re-established the palace in 539 AD: \u003cbr/\u003e              \"The palace of Olbia was built during the period of the Emperor Justinian. This palace was built and was called Theodoureas, after Emperor Justinian's wife. The name was changed to his daughter Olbia after that,\" says Al-Dalal.\u003cbr/\u003e              Two churches were identified in the area, the first one is an eastern Church which was discovered in 1957, and the second is a western Church, which was discovered in 1964.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"The Roman Empire in the west adopted the Catholics' Christianity, and the Roman Empire in the east adopted the Orthodox Christianity. Therefore, the denominations of the Churches are in a western Church and an eastern Church, not the place, but the result of the division of the two Christian denominations,\" adds Al-Dalal.\u003cbr/\u003e              There are five known ancient bishops of this ancient diocese. The first two are mentioned in the letter written by Sinesio di Cirene to Theophilus of Alexandria in 412 AD, and also Bishop Publius who took part in the council of Ephesus 431.\u003cbr/\u003e              Since 1933 Olbia has been included among the bishopric holders of the Catholic Church.\u003cbr/\u003e              In 1972, a small archaeological museum was opened near the Western Church, known as the \"Byzantine Mosaic Museum\". \u003cbr/\u003e              The small museum displays mosaic floor pieces that belong to the western church, including a rare mosaic piece that shows the shape of the Alexandria lighthouse.\u003cbr/\u003e              The floor mosaics are considered among the greatest artistic treasures of Libya.\u003cbr/\u003e              The excavators were convinced that there were more churches in the neighbourhood, but so far, they have not been excavated.\u003cbr/\u003e
