Über
Schnelle Fakten: This museum is located within the ruins of a medieval castle belonging to the dukes of Herzegovina, with 14th-century walls and towers still standing. The collection includes over 3,000 artifacts, ranging from Illyrian pottery to Ottoman weapons and traditional costumes, spanning thousands of years of history.
Highlights: Hidden beneath the museum courtyard lies the complete ruins of an ancient Roman villa, with floor mosaics so well preserved that the geometric patterns from 2,000 years ago still retain their vivid colors. Standing on the castle tower and looking out, the Trebizat River winds through a limestone canyon, and from this vantage point you can see the bell towers of four medieval churches at once.
Insidertipps
- Climb the castle tower at 3-4 PM, when the golden light is best for panoramic canyon photos.
- The mosaic floors of the Roman villa underground are actually clearer on overcast days, as there is less glare from the glass windows.
- Wear comfortable flat shoes. The cobblestone slope leading up to the castle is steep and slippery.
- The old town alleys behind the museum have a few family-run restaurants that are half the price of those on the main street.
