Culture in everyday life

What I really like abour Croatia, you almost stumble upon culture, everywhere you look. But I can also see the dillema for people living in between all this cultural heritage. What to do with this herritage if it is exactly there were you want to build a road, a shop, a marina or an appartment complex? Well, you sort of just build around it.

Today I am berthed in Cres, on the Island Cres, just of the coast of mainland Croatia. Here there are also ancient Roman buildings wherever I look. It started right in the Marina. While building this new Marina they discoverd Roman ruins. So these ruins were incorparated into the marina complex. In the city of  Cres I saw this ancient looking building right next to a super modern appartment complex. Being the curious type I walked over to see what was inside.

Through the hole in the door I made the picture below. They were using it as a shed. But it was a shed full of amphoras(old Roman containers for transporing liquids, like olive oil. These amphoras look a lot like the amphora's that were on display in the Amphitheatre in Pula!
