About the Roman town of Colentum

OThe island of Murter was already inhibited in prehistoric period, as well as during the existence of Illyrian tribes. Both Liburnians and Romans, who lived on the island, left clear traces of their presence. Remains of Roman architecture, seaport devices, and mosaics narrate about the island’s significance during the period of Antiquity. The Liburnian and Roman town of Colentum is considered to be one of the most significant archeological sites in the area. Remains of the walls on the Gradina Hill,
numerous mosaics, objects of everyday usage, amphorae, and similar items, testify about glorious history of this Liburnian and Roman town.

They usually say that in places once inhabited by ancient peoples one can find a nice viewpoint. The Liburnian and Roman settlement of Colentum was scattered on the
entire Gradina Hill. The view from the ancient Liburnian walls surrounding the hill, just like the one from the very top of the hill, is truly unforgettable!

Corner

for owners

The majority of the territory of the Gradina Hill, including the Colentum archeological site, is privately owned. More than one hundred parcels belonging to different owners span over the entire archeological site. The realization of any project on the Colentum area would be impossible without the collaboration with the owners. So far the collaboration has been fruitful, and we would like it to remain the same in the future, allowing the property owners to benefit from the Colentum projects.

Hereby we invite all interested parties to contact us to find out more about the potential projects, or to share their own ideas and suggestions with us.
