Every hour,
a fragment of history.

Why Ora Ilire

Five reasons it stays with you.

Not a museum

You don’t read the history. You stand in it.

No display cases, no ropes, no plaques to read. The castle and its legend rise around you in 360°. Turn your head and the past is everywhere around you, close enough that it feels you could touch it.

Rozafa Castle

The stones are silent. Here they speak.

All that is left today are bare walls and a few signs. Here every stone returns to its place and the legend unfolds around you.

Metaversum · AR Premium

Walk the Illyrian city that isn’t there.

Put on the headset and the ancient streets rebuild themselves around you in augmented reality. Temples, markets and towers rise from the same ground you’re standing on, layered over the real world.

The legend of Rozafa

A woman was built into these walls.

The myth every local grows up on tells of a young mother sealed into the foundations so the fortress would finally stand. Step inside her story for the length of a coffee and feel why it never faded.

Easy for everyone

A story the whole family shares.

Children, parents and grandparents live it together, each in their own way. No gaming experience needed, no reading either. Put the headset on and the story begins around you.
