A protective cage on the archaeological site near the bay Koromašna off the island Žirje was replaced
After almost 14 years of protecting a number of ancient amphorae off the island Žirje, overgrown old cage was damaged by the action of the sea. A new cage measuring 17 x 9 meters was installed these days at the Roman shipwreck with a cargo of about a hundred amphorae.
