    The oldest traces of human presence in today\u2019s Rijeka area date back to the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods, and the remnants of prehistoric castles (Solin above Martin\u0161\u0107ica, Trsatski brijeg and Veli vrh \u2013 Gradi\u0161\u0107e above the Rje\u010dina River) to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Such settlement dominated over Rijeka\u2019s Bay and protected the port as early as during the period of Illyrian (Liburnian) habitation.\u00a0The Romans moved the residential centre closer to the sea, right from the confluence of the Rje\u010dina River into the Adriatic, on the site of the present Old Town. Numerous archaeological finds (the foundations of the Roman walls, the walls of buildings, the remnants of the Roman baths, Roman doors) are proof of the urban level of Roman Tarsatica. Being situated on a mild slope, with a narrow shore zone, abundant sources of fresh water and a sheltered bay with natural characteristics of a port, this city had all the predispositions to develop into an important port and commercial city.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
