Ancient Settlement and Harbor, Cape Gradina, Murter

Along the western side of Cape Gradina in the settlement of Murter, just behind the cemetery, remains of ancient architecture lie in shallow sea. The place is interesting to lovers of underwater archaeology, because to a depth of two meters the walls of a former harbor settlement on the island of Murter in Šibenik-Knin County can be made out.

On the bottom large, only roughly worked blocks can be discerned, while closer to shore the walls are built of smaller stone and bound with mortar. Alongside the architecture, fragments of pottery can also be seen. The settlement and harbor belong to the period between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.

The remains are a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-235.
