Hello friends,
I returned today from a 2 week holiday in Croatia.
I went with the
car and drove about 4000 km through the country.
We visited the palace of
Diocletian in Split, the ancient town of Salonae (were
Diocletian was born, the
amphitheatre at Pula, the Venetian fortress of Zadar,...
But the most marvellous thing of the trip was the discovery of a new found
arena.
In a little town I
met some local people and talking about some interests, they took me to a newly found
arena, dating from the time of the Flavians. The archeologists did stop their
work, because
money ran out
. Few people know about the existence of it. Nobody looked after it, not even the police. You could walk freely through it.
All over the place there was
roman pottery, fragments of
pottery, colums on the ground,...
It was like walking through
history, because it was so
good as untouched.
I will also post some pics.
Grtz,
Nico
