Roman Forum
Forum
The largest Roman forum ruins on the eastern Adriatic coast, with columns and fragments scattered through the old town center, open for free wandering.
The forum was built during the reign of Augustus and was in use from roughly the 1st century BC to the 3rd century AD. Today you can see large expanses of stone paving, altar fragments, and an intact Roman column, which was once used as a 'pillory' in the Middle Ages. The site is open to the public free of charge, and it is surrounded by the Church of St. Donatus, the Cathedral of St. Anastasia, and the Archaeological Museum. In the evenings, street musicians often perform, making it the social heart of the old town.
