Not far from Umag is an archeological site of the ancient Sepomaia, with ruins of a rustic villa dating back to the 1st and 4th century AD. A mere sight of those remains from the Antiquity leaves one in awe of such priceless cultural heritage. In honour of it Umag stages the Sepomaia Viva, an annual event, a veritable festival of ancient times during which all visitors have the opportunity to experience the spirit of times long gone. Dressed in robes of those times, the visitors can enjoy the tastes of ancient times, meet gladiators and legionaries, dance ancient dances and engage in some antique crafts and arts. Come to Umag in August and we promise you’ll forget all about your 21st century daily routine - at least for three days.
