HR - Bribirska glavica jedno je od najznačajnijih arheoloških nalazišta u Hrvatskoj, s kontinuitetom naselja od preko 2500 godina. Iskopavanja su započela daleke 1910. godine te je do danas istražena trećina od oko 72000 m2 površine unutar bedema. Osim ostataka arhitekture iz raznih povijesnih razdoblja koji su prezentirani in situ, na Glavici je uređena i muzejska zbirka.
ENG - Bribirska Glavica is one of the most important archaeological sites in Croatia, with over 2500 years of settlement continuty. The excavations began in 1910 and, up to date, one third of the settlement area has been revealed (total area within the defensive walls is about 72.000 m2). In addition to the architectural remains from the various historical periods presented in situ, a museum collection was also open at the site.
HR - Bribirska Glavica je svoj život započela u 1. stoljeću prije Krista (u željeznom dobu) kao utvrđeno naselje liburnskog plemena Varvarina. Pod nazivom Varvaria, naselje se na prijelazu era razvija u rimski grad. U 1. stoljeću podignut je masivni bedem koji je najbolje vidljiv na istočnoj strani, duž današnjeg prilaznog puta.
ENG - Bribirska Glavica began its life in the 1st millennium BC (in the Iron Age)) as a fortified settlement of the Liburnian tribe Varvarinae. At the turn of the eras, the settlement named Varvaria evolves into a Roman town. In the 1st century, a massive devensive wall was built, which is today best seen on the eastern side, along the access road.
HR - U srednjem vijeku grad se, pak, spominje pod imenom Breberium, a posebno je značajan u 12. i 13. stoljeću kao sjedište moćne dinastije Šubića. Među Šubićima se na političkoj sceni najviše uzdigao Pavao I. koji je od ugarskog kralja dobio nasljednu čast bana Hrvatske, a potom i titulu gospodara Bosne. Iz tog razdoblja potiču prezentirani ostaci gotičke crkve svete Marije i franjevačkog samostana koji su stradali u naletu Osmanlija u 16. stoljeću. U to vrijeme, uslijed intenzivnih ratnih sukoba između Venecije i Osmanlija, život na Glavici prestaje, a u podnožju se ubrzo počinje formirati novo selo - današnji Bribir.
ENG - In the Middle Ages, however, the town was known under the name Breberium, and was particulary significant in the 12th and 13th century as the seat of the powerful dynasty of Šubić. Among the members of the Šubić familly, Paul I had risen the most on the pilitical scene. He was honoured Ban of Croatia by the king of Hungary, and was later also aworderd with the title Lord of Bosnia. The presented remains of the Gothic church of Saint Mary and the Franciscan monastery, that were destroyed in the Ottoman attacks in the 16th century, are dating from that period. At that time, due to intense war conflicts between Venice and Ottomans, life on Glavica ceases, and a new village - modern Bribir - is soon to be formed.
