Exhibition '845 °C'

Behind the title of this interesting exhibition lies the story about ancient Crikvenica that is 2,000 years old. Archaeological excavations at the site of 'Igralište' near the town's football stadium, have confirmed that Ad Turres was the name of ancient Crikvenica and that historical development of the town has been enduring for more than 2,000 years. A local pottery workshop by Sextus Metilio Maxim for the production of amphorae, consumer goods and building ceramics, has been discovered and due to its good state, it is unique on Croatian territory. The exhibition will present the results of the archaeological research so far.
