On the Land and Beneath the Sea of the Ancient City of Issa

The project ‘On the Land and Beneath the Sea of the Ancient City of Issa’ consists of a land and an underwater trail for the future Archaeological Park at the protected archaeological site of ancient Issa, the oldest city on the Adriatic coast.
The educational trail consists of seven monumental features that serve as interpretive points for the most significant architectural elements of the ancient city.

Shorter and longer versions of the trail:
1. Martvilo Necropolis (+ Eastern City Wall), 2. Roman Thermal Complex, 3. Ancient Theater (St. Jerome’s Church), 4. Ancient Coastline, 5. Kanarija (+ Hellenistic Insula), 6. Vlaška Njiva Necropolis, 7. City Walls.
