Right next to the square of the Holy Trinity, there is a newly renovated complex of the archaeological site of Iovija from Roman times. In the modernly equipped Iovia, you can learn about how people lived in this area in Roman times, why the commercial settlement of Iovia was founded in this place along the banks of the Bednja, and how important it was. In the long history of Ludbreg, the Roman era can be highlighted as a particularly interesting period.

The Romans built the settlement Iovija along the left bank of the Bednja river, the remains of which are visible in the very center of the city.    The Roman presence lasted until the destruction of the settlement in the 5th century AD, but the remains of Roman buildings are still visible today. Two buildings located in the very center of the city have been turned into an interesting archaeological park that evokes for visitors the way of life in antiquity and the importance of the settlement itself for the history of this part of Croatia. The archaeological park presents Roman culture in a modern and multimedia way through AR and 3D interactive models that transport the visitor to another era, at least during the visit.
