Valtura, Archaeological settlement near Porto Badò, Croatia
Located on Mount Glavica at 115 meters above sea level, the archaeological site contains multiple defensive walls and ancient terraces from different periods.
The settlement served as the capital of the Istri people until 177 BCE, when Roman forces conquered it after diverting the water supply.
The necropolis contains 114 graves with preserved artifacts, including decorated jars and inscribed stones that reveal funeral and religious practices.
The site contains remains from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman period, and early Christian era, allowing visitors to examine different architectural styles.
Research at the site started in the late 1800s with Pietro Kandler, leading to discoveries of Greek ceramics indicating Mediterranean trade relations.
