This
second ancient entrance to Omišalj was used to enter the town from the north
and to leave the town in a northern direction towards the island of Sveti Marko
and the narrow channel that separates the island of Krk from the Vinodol
mainland (towards Pušća, Vežica, and Vošćica). This entrance dates back to
prehistory and the hillfort settlement of the Liburnian community of
Fertinates, which was located on the site of what is today the town of
Omišalj.
