Serilia Liburnica

Besides the remains of early Croatian boats a partly reconstructed “serilia”, the vessel used by the prehistoric Liburnians and Histri is also displayed. The name “serilia” indicated that they were “sewn” together, or held together by ligatures in the form of linen and broom cards. In the ancient part of Zaton the remains of three such boats were discovered, the displayed example represents the best preserved “sewn” example in the Mediterranean.
