WITHIN ACTUAL TOPOGRAPHIC LIMITS, THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF MEDIANA CAN BE DEFINED AS A
SITE SITUATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF A RESIDENTIAL-INDUSTRIAL URBAN ZONE. THE DIVISION OF THE
AREA IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH PART, WITH CERTAIN DISLOCATIONS OF THE ACTUAL ROAD
COMMUNICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RAIL TRAFFIC ON THE ROUTE OF THE ROMAN ROAD, HAS
BEEN PRESERVED TO DATE

NOWADAYS, MEDIANA CERTAINLY CANNOT BE REGARDED EXCLUSIVELY AS A PART OF
THE ROMAN HERITAGE WITH EMPHASIS ON THE ANTIQUE RESIDENTIAL, ECONOMIC AND
SACRAL FUNCTION AND WITH A SPECIAL IDEOLOGICAL MEANING WHICH MAKES IT
A REPRESENTATIVE CEREMONIAL COMPLEX IN TIME OF THE EMPEROR CONSTANTINE
AND HIS SUCCESSORS.
MEDIANA ALSO OFFERS GREAT POSSIBILITIES OF EXPLOITATION AND PRESENTATION OF
THE INDUSTRIAL PATRIMONY AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPE.
ARHEOLOKI
PARK MEDIANA
THEREFORE, THE EXPLOITATION OF THE FUTURE PARK OF MEDIANA IS A VERY COMPLEX

PROCESS. FIRST OF ALL, THE MUSEUM AND THE WHOLE AREA ARE PERMANENTLY OPEN
FOR VISITORS AND IT IS ALSO A WORK PLACE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS OF THE PROJECT
(ARCHAEOLOGISTS, ARCHITECTS CURATORS, ETC), AS WELL AS AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL
SITE WHERE ALL THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ARE RESPECTED.
