The Limska Gradina hillfort.

Posted on by JanS

This hillfort is from the Early Iron period (1250 BC – 500 AC). The necropolis was extensively researched in the second half of the 20th century. Various graves were discovered, which with the form of vessels and pottery give a good impression over time.
