AND AT THE END OF MY LIFE I BELIEVE THAT I WILL BE

EVEN AFTER DEATH I BELIEVE
I WILL EXIST

The living bury the dead with the belief that death is not the end but the beginning of life in another unknown, but promised world. What the deceased, their body or soul needed after death in the first four centuries is clearly visible through the items put inside the graves. Some 2,400 burial places have been found in the Zadar necropolis. Thousands of coins, candlesticks, glass and ceramic utensils, jewellery, toiletries and medical equipment placed in the graves offers a glimpse into the secret world of folk beliefs. Only the bones and the grave goods remain, but the soul has found its peace in a world as immaterial as the soul itself.
