Claustra Alpium Iuliarum

The Claustra Alpium Iuliarum, a significant Late Roman barrier system, played a crucial role in safeguarding the crossings to Italy from the 3rd to the 5th centuries. This formidable structure comprised stone walls often arranged in multiple lines, accompanied by towers, fortlets, and forts. Stretching from modern-day Rijeka in Croatia to the Bača Ravine in Slovenia, the Claustra is a testament to the advanced military architecture of its time.
