Haliaetum
Haliaetum was a Roman port on the northern Adriatic coast of the Istrian peninsula.
The port was first established around 178-177BC following fierce resistance by the Histri, the indigenous population.[1] The site of the port is at Valižan on Simonov zaliv (Simon’s Bay) to the southwest of the modern town of Izola in Slovenia. Remains visible at extreme low tide include parts of its pier as well as various port buildings.[2] Some excavations have been carried out in recent years, with more excavations planned in the future. The site is also open to tourists.
The port has given name to St. Mary of Haliaetum Church (Slovene: cerkev sv. Marije Alietske) in Izola, the coastal town in southwestern Slovenia. It was erected in the 11th century and later redesigned in the Baroque style.
