Description: ISTRIA, VALTURA - 2 houses in a beautiful location
Valtura is a small place in Istria located in the municipality of Ližnjan, just a few kilometers away from Pula. It is best known for its proximity to the archeological site of Nesactium, the capital of the Illyrian people Histri. Nearby is Šandalja, a system of several caves, named after the quarry of the same name. Back in Roman times, stone was exploited at that site. Today, Šandalja is located in the area of OKZ "Valtura" (Open Penitentiary Valtura). According to the richness of paleontological, paleolithic and paleoanthropological finds, which were found in 9 meters thick deposits, the site occupies a leading position on European soil. To date, the caves of Šandalj I and II have been explored, about ten meters apart. Remains of a million-year-old incisors of Homo erectus were found there. It is these data that speak of the oldest prehistoric man in Europe....
