Remnants of a Byzantine fort

Location: Šilo, N 45 08.658, E 14 40.477

The Remnants of a Roman Villa is a signboard inscription which will lead you, with the help of other similar signs, to the remnants of a Byzantine fort dating from the 6th century. However, as soon as you start enjoying the view of Crikvenica, Selce and the surrounding landscapes, it will become clear to you that this, now ruinous, villa had an additional function. It also served as a watch post. From here, the locals would watch out for the thieves and attackers who did not spare this area during the past centuries either.
