We want Sinj not only alive in August when the Alka and the Assumption of Mary are held, but also the rest of the year.

Pons Tiluri Event in Trilj: A Bridge Between Worlds

September 17, 2019 - The Museum of the Trilj Region, in cooperation with the Sports Association Gaz, and with the support of the Tourist Board of Split-Dalmatia County and the City of Trilj, for the first time organizes the Pons Tiluri event - a bridge between the worlds.

The purpose of the event is to present to visitors, in a fun and educational way, three critical events from ancient history that preceded the development of Pons Tiluri - today's Trilj.

Storytelling methods for expert tours of museums and sites and "reviving history" are becoming increasingly popular in the world of cultural heritage interpretation, based on the principle of authentic depictions of historical periods and events.

The Pons Tiluri manifestation - a bridge between the worlds, consists of three acts, or staged historical events in three different locations:

1st Location - the courtyard of the Museum of the Trilj region

- Staging the Great Pannonian-Dalmatian Uprising, also known as the  Bellum Batonianum, which took place between AD 6–9, leading to the final breakdown of the resistance in Illyria and the administrative division into the provinces of Pannonia and Dalmatia.

2nd Location - Roman Legionary Camp Tilurium (Centuria - Probe A) in Gardun village

- Staging an evening for Roman soldiers (Latin corpora curae), from preparing food to games, hygiene, body care and the like

- changing of the guard

3rd Location - Suspension Bridge in Trilj

- Staging the dedication of the Roman bridge to the supreme god Jupiter and the deity of the river Cetina (ant. Hypuss). The wooden bridge was probably built at the beginning of the 3rd century and was located between the modern road bridge and the 'hanging' bridge in Trilj.

The event will take place on September 20, starting at 5 pm at the Museum of the Trilj Region, Don Ante Bućana 3, Trilj.

Visitors are asked to come by car as public transportation to Tilurij  (3 km away from the Museum) will not be provided.

Trilj Regional Museum Introduces Virtual Tours to Popularize Heritage of Area

The Trilj Regional Museum is pleased to announce that a virtual walk through the museum exhibition and other exhibition venues has been successfully realized. The virtual walk includes two exhibition rooms; the archaeological site and ethnographic collection, and museum monuments in which stone monuments are preserved. The virtual walk is integrated with info points that provide information about museum activities, museum exhibitions, and selected exhibits. The purpose of the project, carried out in collaboration with the digital agency L33T, who is behind more than 200 projects of this type, is to popularise the Trilj Regional Museum and the cultural heritage of the area in general.

The 360-degree virtual tour is a contemporary, innovative and interactive presentation of the museum setup using the latest VR technology. Almost 1,000 photos were taken, which were featured in 13 virtual panorama resolutions greater than 200 megapixels. In particular, it features the panorama of Trilj and the surrounding area from above, which very attractively displays the beauty of the Trilj region.

In this way, future visitors will be able to interact with the museum setting, and the initial contact of the virtual user will be transformed into active communication with the exhibition and exhibits. Each info point is accompanied by information in Croatian and English to cover as many local and foreign users as possible.

Virtual walks can be used on all types of devices from a PC, smartphone, or tablet with the option of using virtual eyewear. It is available on the website of the Trilj Tourist Board and at www.muzejtriljskogkraja.hr.

The project was realized thanks to the cooperation and support of the Trilj Tourist Board, headed by the director Andriana Ivković.
