The Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments focuses on the early medieval period, from the 7th to the 12th centuries, when Croatian identity first emerged. Its extensive collection includes intricately carved stone reliefs from early churches, jewelry, weapons, and pottery. The museum's highlight is the famous 'Baptismal Font of Prince Višeslav,' a key symbol of early Croatian statehood. Visitors can trace the development of Croatian culture through well-curated exhibits.
