The restored 'Garden of Eden' mosaic was opened to visitors.

It was determined that the mosaic was destroyed by removing the block stones in the area where the apse and its continuation are located in the eastern part of the mosaic area.

The central scene of the mosaic, titled "Garden of Eden," from the ancient city of Perre, one of the five largest cities of the Commagene civilization, features a vine branch, grapes, a grazing deer, a rooster, a chicken, and a demoiselle crane. The mosaic's side frames are adorned with octagonal, heart, and three-dimensional sphere figures.

Dating back to the Roman period, namely the 5th century AD, the mosaic is 1,500 years old and is 155 square meters in size. 30 square meters of the mosaic was destroyed, so only 125 square meters of it survived to the present day.

Providing information about the work, Adıyaman Museum Director Mehmet Alkan said:

"In 2025, we began excavations in the area where the 'Stairway to Eternity' and the basilica are located. As a result of the measurements we carried out there, we discovered that the apse section of the mosaic on the east side had been destroyed by the removal of approximately 3-4 blocks of stone. We previously knew that this mosaic was 155 square meters, but as a result of these excavations, it became clear that the mosaic was originally a single piece of 300 square meters."
