Take a walk through an area with a remarkable ancient history and breathe in the Mediterranean atmosphere of imperial Rome!
Right in the heart of Medulin, and just outside the main tourist area, you can find the Vižula peninsula, a quiet place with a millennia-long history. This is the site of a new multimedia Archaeological park Vižula.
The park was designed to meet the expectations of both children and adults and includes two bars, children’s playgrounds, an adrenaline park, a stage for various events in the former quarry, an archaeology school, and an antique garden. Visitors can obtain all the necessary information at the info-point at the entrance. Also you can rent tablet computers (during the high season) to enjoy the visualisation of the magnificent restored ancient villa and its individual sections . The park also features smart benches, an e-tree, a hotspot point, interpretation boards that include braille texts for blind and visually impaired visitors, and a circular tactile map. The entire peninsula is also under video surveillance.
Vižula is an exceptionally significant archaeological site. The archaeological remains in this 26-hectare area range from the Neolithic to Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The most significant find in Vižula is the remains of an ancient villa, which with its impressive dimensions, monumental architecture, rich decoration, beautiful mosaics and finest marble, is one of the most attractive, spacious and luxurious maritime residential villas from the period of the Roman Empire on the eastern Adriatic coast.
