Roman quarries on the hill Monte del Vescovo – (Biškupovi Vrhi).

Characteristic of these quarries was that the stones with a length of up to 2 meters, a width of 1 meter and a thickness of 80 cm were extracted here with a hammer with two spikers. The groove between the stones was 20 to 30 cm. The blocks of stone were presumably used for the manufacture of sarcophagi.
