Andautonia Archaeological Park
Near the village of Scitarjevo, close to Zagreb, are the remains
of the ancient Roman town of Andautonia, which have been excavated
and provide a fascinating tourist attraction. Andautonia was a
prominent administrative, economic, cultural and religious centre
about 400 years ago. Archaeologists are still excavating the site,
but visitors can view a 26,910 square foot (2,500 sq m) area of the
Roman City including parts of the main street, city baths,
colonnades and side streets. Tourists can also visit the
present-day village of Scitarjevo, which offers examples of typical
rural farms with their characteristic wooden houses.
