Abruzzo is called the green region because we have big parks, as the National Park of Abruzzo, where wolves, bears and  foxes live safe; we also have the sea and wonderful historical sites. In particular our village  is called Ortucchio. It is small, about 1300 inhabitants, but people are nice and friendly. Here are some images of our village and other little towns that take part to our Institute San Giovanni Bosco: Gioia dei Marsi e Lecce nei Marsi.

Portas is located on the final stretch of the Santiago's Way, so they also wanted to refer to two nearby cities: Caldas de Reis and Santiago de Compostela.

How did it all start?
From the newspaper article in Večernjak from October 31, 2011, is written that the archaeological find was found by accident.
Namely, Mr started digging the foundations of the garage and found unusual bones. He informed the Brdovec Museum, an interesting and sensational story about the distant past in the village of Sveti Križ and our homeland began.

# data[].attributes.body
On the timeline you can see that the archaeological find was dated to the 6th century BC. 27 centuries have passed since then.
Along with the remains of the riders and horses, the riders equipment and grave goods were found.
The equipment was found and the fact the horse was buried next to the rider indicates that he was a rich warrior.
The warrior had a bronze helmet - the only such specimen found in the world, so * according to the place of the find, it was named the helmet of the Holy Cross-type.

# data[].attributes.body
He had an iron battle-axe, an iron spear and a bronze clasp that was part of his belt, and several ceramic vessels.
The horse had equipment consisting of jaws, which were strapped to the whole horse's head. Horse equipment from this tomb is very important because according to it we can place all the finds in the 6th century BC.
8. Research on the Holy Cross is still carried out today.
The research is conducted by the Department of Archeology of the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb under the leadership of - Doctor of Archeology - PhD. Janje Mavrović Mokos, doc. A house from the 5th century BC was found. Kr. of large dimensions and incredible architectural skill. The house was wooden with larger and smaller properly spaced pillars. They also had a wooden floor, a large fireplace on which the remains of pots and bowls were found.
Objects that we presume belonged to women were found near the hearth: a bronze bracelet, glass beads that were part of a necklace and ceramic vertebrae that were used to spin threads from which the fabric on the loom was later made.
Both larger and smaller iron knives and one needle were found. The tip of an iron spear and fragments of bronze fibulae were found in a room just below the hearth.
