Antična nekropola

Antička nekropola is an ancient burial ground with multiple tombs and graves distributed along a former Roman trade route in eastern Slovenia. The site has been systematically excavated and preserved, featuring visible burial structures, pottery, tools, and informational panels about the discoveries.

The necropolis was established during the Roman period when merchants and settlers lived in the region and buried their dead at this location. It represents one of the numerous burial sites that dotted the landscape along trade routes connecting distant parts of the Roman world.

The burial grounds reveal how Roman inhabitants honored their dead and what objects they considered important for the afterlife. The items found there reflect daily life and religious beliefs of the time.

The site features explanatory panels that help visitors understand the grave structures and their arrangement across the landscape. Morning visits are recommended to view the details clearly and experience the site in quieter conditions.

The burials display varying orientations and construction methods, suggesting that different groups were interred here over an extended period. These variations provide clues about how settlements in the region changed and developed over time.
