Archaeology
Archaeological sites within the Nature Park area bear witness of the continuity of use of the Nature Park’s natural values. All of the sites are regulated, marked with information boards and have roads or footpaths that lead to them. They are maintained on a regular basis; however, there are still those that are in the course of research, as well as those that are still waiting to see the light of day. The Institution is conducting research in collaboration with various institutions through the scientific research project “Archaeological Picture of Nature Park Telašćica” because the area of the Nature Park includes localities of crucial importance for the knowledge of cultural heritage of the island.
