About seven miles from Pula, beyond the city's airport, you will find the ruins of Nesactium. They aren't terribly inspiring and I visited them this time late in the day merely out of a sense of duty - grey stones in an overgrown grassy field.

To my delight and astonishment, as I wandered around an elderly gentleman with a dog ambled up, produced a key and opened the museum! It is only a single small room, but the comprehensive and instructive displays inside proved most interesting, as did the guide book that I was able to purchase.

The result was that I went back again the next day (when it was raining!) and made this film. Enjoy.
