Historic Ruins & Forts

This collection showcases the diverse history of the Medulin peninsula, ranging from Cretaceous-era dinosaur footprints preserved in limestone to the remnants of the Austro-Hungarian 'Festung Pola' defense system. The list includes 19th-century coastal fortifications like Fort Turtian and Fort Castiun, alongside specialized military structures such as the 42cm Howitzer battery and its associated engine house. These sites offer a glimpse into both prehistoric natural history and the strategic naval importance of the Istrian coast during the late Austro-Hungarian Empire.
