You are invited to a mysterious exploration of life from more than 3,000 years ago!
Life in the Bronze and Iron Ages, which we place in the Karst and Istria in the period from the 2nd millennium BC until the arrival of the Romans, is marked by peoples who also lived in hill forts. They devoted enormous time and energy to building monumental stone walls around their settlements, farming and cattle breeding, gathering plants, and worshiping a pantheon of deities. On a walk through the Karst forests, Istrian pastures and forests, between valleys, sinkholes and tracks, we can still admire many prehistoric remains. Many of the artifacts have been restored and reconstructed in museum display cases, and many are hidden beneath the earth’s layers and stone ruins. Patiently, accurately and carefully, archaeologists are discovering them so that we too can learn how they once lived, used natural resources, worshiped deities, traded or fought for their habitat.
