ABOUT THE PROJECT:

In terms of its content, the project The Stone Walls of the Roman Empire (CLAUSTRA) focuses on the Late Roman barrier system claustra Alpium Iuliarum (CAI). CAI was at that time the largest construction and military defence system in the territory of present-day Slovenia and Croatia. A unique common cultural heritage highlights the issues of the evaluation, protection, and conservation of cultural heritage, the knowledge of CAI and the presentation of the system as a whole. Due to the lack of knowledge of the cultural heritage in the local communities, the remains of the CAI are being destroyed by forestry, agriculture, and urbanization. The common identity of the space and the common landscape value are thus disappearing.

The project The Stone Walls of the Roman Empire enables joint preventive research and coordination of transnational conservation starting points. The important cultural heritage is now recorded, documented, valorised, registered, protected and will be presented to the public as a whole. Various works are being carried out as part of the project (a website about CAI with an interactive map, an exhibition, a publication or travel guide around CAI and a documentary) that will present, bring closer and make this important common cultural heritage more accessible to the general public.

The promotion of CAI represents a new cultural and tourism potential of the area, which is indispensable for the sustainable development of the region in both countries. Similar monuments in Europe are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List (Hadrian’s Wall, the Antonine Wall, the Danubian Limes).

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

The project encompasses the common archaeological heritage of the Northern Adriatic coast, from the Emilian to the Slovenian coast. A total of nine partners – three Slovenian and six Italian – have set the following tasks for the three-year period (2010–2013):

  • realisation of the planned systems of cultural, archaeological and natural entities and their interconnection for the purpose of universal and wide accessibility for everyone,
  • exchange of experience in the field of archaeological didactics, creating a base of the examples of practice and designing the most appropriate model of archaeological didactics,
  • creation of a virtual archaeological park,
  • realisation of pilot projects for increasing the activities in the selected areas, which concretely means arranging the selected sites in such a way that they will be accessible to the general public,
  • effective promotion of activities and popularisation of archaeological parks and archaeological heritage.
