The stone constructions represent reconstructed part of an antique (Greek and Roman) necropolis with three Roman burial constructions. Complex of the antique necropolis stands as one of the most significant findings of the prehistoric era on the Montenegrin coast testifying of Budva as an important urban center from the time of Greek and Roman domination. The necropolis was accidentally discovered during excavations for the foundations of the Avala hotel during 1937-38. Archaeological excavations after the Second World War and particularly those after the catastrophic earthquake from 1979 testified of multi-layered graveyard from Illyrian-Greek (5th century B.C.), Hellenic (4th to 1st century B.C.) as well as Roman periods (1st to 5th century A.D.) with various types of tombs and burial constructions with memorial rectangular, prismatic, and conical tombs such as stellas and aras with relief decorations and Latin inscriptions. The findings from the tombs included numerous offerings made of gold, bronze, metal, glass, ceramics, and stone as well as numerous pieces of glass, ceramic, and stone urns. In the vicinity of the necropolis, the remains of an urban Roman villa (Villa Urbana) decorated with floor mosaics were found. The mosaic was restored and displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Budva with the rest of the findings from the necropolis - the most significant ancient archaeological site in Budva.
