Asseria

The complex spans across a strategic hilltop location with walls measuring 3 meters wide and 4 meters high, constructed from massive stone blocks.

The settlement evolved from a Liburnian center to a Roman military post in the 1st century AD, receiving special tax exemption status from Rome.

The site contains numerous Liburnian funerary monuments called cipus, which demonstrate the integration of local stone masonry with Roman carving techniques.

The archaeological site maintains walking paths for visitors and features informational displays from the Benkovac Heritage Museum about the ancient structures.

A triumphal arch erected in 113 AD during Emperor Trajan's visit stands among the preserved sections of the original Roman-era city walls.
