vzpostavitev prvega podvodnega arheo-
loškega parka v Sloveniji;
- povečati in izboljšati dostopnost spo-
menika, kar temelji na njegovi celostni
predstavitvi, nadgradnji pripomočkov
in opreme za interpretacijo (predvsem
z vzpostavitvijo sodobnega Interpreta-
cijskega centra za obiskovalce), izvedbi
javnega programa za obiskovalce s po-

področju arheološke didaktike ter oza-
veščanje javnosti o pomenu arheološke
dediščine z javnim programom eksperi-
mentalne arheologije;
- načrtovanje turističnih itinerarjev, ki
povezujejo arheološka najdišča slovenske
Obale, da se poveča prepoznavnost in
ponudba tega območja v segmentu arhe-
ološkega in kulturnega turizma.
2. TRENUTNO STANJE
a. O mozaikih in stanju najdišča
Na območju rimske obmorske vile in šir-
šega zaledja se prepletajo pojavi kulturne
dediščine in naravnih vrednot izjemnega
pomena, in sicer na državni ravni. Simonov
zaliv se kot arheološko najdišče omenja
že v 16. stoletju. Prva arheološka izko-
pavanja so potekala leta 1922 in ob tem
so prvič izmerili tudi ostanke pristanišča.

to establish a modern archaeological park
(including the underwater part of the
site), meaning:
- restoration, conservation and protection
of the Simonov zaliv archaeological site
with the presentation of the monument
as a whole, i.e. the living quarters of the
Roman maritime villa as well as the now
submerged adjacent port, which also
means the need to establish the first un-
derwater archaeological park in Slovenia;
- to increase and improve the accessibility
of the monument; the condition for this is
its integrated presentation and properly
updated of equipment, needed for its
interpretation (mainly by establishing a
modern interpretation centre), as well as
a public programme for the visitors with
special needs and underwater tours of
the port, and, last but not least, a tour
guide app;
- education and training in the field of
archaeological didactics and enhancing
public awareness on the meaning of
archaeological heritage with the aid of
a public programme of experimental
archaeology;
- planning tourist itineraries connecting
archaeological sites of the Slovene coast,
thus enhancing the appeal of this particu-
lar area in the segment of archaeological
and cultural tourism.
