Histria village vs ruins, in full

The village is called Istria. The citadel is Histria, a few kilometres away on the shore of Lake Sinoe. Many search for the ruins and miss the village — or the other way around.

The road is the same until a junction. The citadel has a museum and walls. The village has everyday life. We do not mix them on a single page.
