Luki, čuvar hvarskih bisera: Tor

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Luki i njegov dvonožni “roditelj” Ivica stalno obilaze Hvar, koristeći stare staze, i ovako pomažu u održavanju starih puteva. Uživaju u lijepoj prirodi i posjetu povijesnih spomenika, od kojih ima puno na otoku.

Poviše Jelse se nalazi Tor, na 235 m nadmorske visine, i svake godine Luki i Ivica ga posječuju u proljeće i / ili u jesen.

Put prema Toru iz Jelse krene iz crkve od Gospe Zdravlja i vodi kroz polja i neobrađene terene. Kad se dođe do raskrižja gdje se put dijeli, lijevo se ide za Galešnik i desno za Tor, taj direktan put prema Toru je vrlo strm i neravan, a je lakše ići preko Galešnika. Ukupno treba oko 40 minuta za doći direktno do Tora, ali šetnja može trajati dulje ako nemate dobru kondiciju ili hoćete obratiti više pažnje na prekrasnu okolinu. Naravno, treba imati vodu sa sobom, i se obući prikladno. Važno je nositi dobre cipele - a ne japanke!

Tor je još uvijek impozantna zgrada: opis iz istraživanja po projektu „Jadranski otoci“ navodi da je: „Djelomično rekonstruirana grčka kula s mjerama od 6,17 x 7,33 m i 6 m visine. Zidovi su građeni u suhozidu masivnim blokovima s anatirozom na uglovima. Južni zid ima ulaz rekonstruiran s vrlo oskudnim dokazima. Nalazište je smješteno na istaknutom grebenu s odličnim pogledom na Stari Grad, Brač i kopno. Kula je podignuta na bedemu manje gradine... [koja je] zaštićena s tri strane strmim terasnim padinama, a s južne strane suhozidnim bedemom s unutrašnjom obzidom. Bedem mjeri 45 m dužine, 16,4 m širine i 3,6 m visine. Manje područje sjeverno od bedema možda je dio prostora za stanovanje. Bedem je iskopavao M. Zaninović i [V] Mirosavljević. Na osnovu nalaza Zaninović je predložio dataciju gradnje kule u 4/3 st. p. Kr.“

U Hvarskom statutu (1331.) spominje se Tor iznad Jelse. Kroz stoljeće su se arheolozi zainteresirani za Tor i predložili svoje teorije o njegovom gradnju i funkciji. Englez Sir Richard Burton je posjetio Tor u prosincu 1875. godine, i je bio oduševljen. Niko Duboković Nadalini (1965.) je dao svoje mišljenje o Toru: „U grčke spomenike spada i kula Tor nad Jelsom, građena istom tehnikom (nacrt 1 : 100 HA). Služila je očevidno za kontrolu sigurnosti hvarske ravnice, jer ima isto tako veliki segment vizuale kao i Galešnik. Dominira velikim vidnim poljem od Makarskog kanala do ulaza u starogradsku uvalu. Ta je tvrđavica bila veoma čvrsta, možda zbog blizine Ilira koji su se, kod dolaska kolonista kao što je logično, povukli ali su se - prema Diodoru Sicilskom - povukli »na čvrsta mjesta« ostavivši došljacima najplodnije tlo (što je vrlo brzo dovelo do velikog sukoba, u čemu je pomogla Issa). A ta čvrsta mjesta morala bi biti visoravan od Vratnika (Samotorca) prema istoku, te uvale ispod visoravni nad Jelsom i dalje.“ Grgo Novak je napisao: „U IV. stoljeće treba metnuti i kulu »Tor«, koja se diže na jednom brežuljku na jugu nad Jelsom“; Nikša Petrić je tumačio (1986. god.): „... Castrum vetus, osim što je nadaleko kontrolirao morske pristupe otoka, jer je upravo na točkama Grad i Tor pristup iz istočnog dijela ne središnji dio otoka, tj. na središnji prostor Hvara koji se prostire od Jelse do Starog Grada. U helenističkom razdoblju takva je bila funkcija i obližnje utvrde Tor.“

Međutim, ima još puno za istraživati na tom nalazištu, i nedavno po inicijativi Muzeja Općine Jelsa je počeo ozbiljan projekt iskopavanja u nadi da će se otkriti odgovore na neriješena pitanja iz davne prošlosti.

Mirko Crnčević je opisao projekt za 'Slobodnu Dalmaciju':

„U sklopu projekta obnove i valorizacije utvrde Tor iznad Jelse na Hvaru, koji se provodi u organizaciji Muzeja općine Jelsa, obavljeno je revizijsko arheološko istraživanje unutar i oko tog antičkog lokaliteta, što ga je izvela tvrtka “Kantharos” iz Hvara.

Utvrda Tor, kao jedno od ključnih arheoloških nalazišta na škoju, spominje se u povijesnim izvorima već od 15. stoljeća, a zanimanje za nju raste od 19. stoljeća kada se počinje razvijati arheološka znanost. Znakovito je da je prva arheološka istraživanja tog lokaliteta proveo arheolog Vladimir Mirosavljevićtijekom 60-ih godina prošlog stoljeća.

U nekoliko kampanja iskopano je više sondi, a u samo jednoj od njih pronađeni su arheološki nalazi. Najvažniji bio je nalaz novca grčkih kolonija Pharosa i Isse, a pronađeno ognjište prema analizi materijala od kojeg je građeno pripada 3. stoljeću prije Krista.

Arheolog hvarskih korijena Marin Zaninović pretpostavio je da u to razdoblje posljedično treba staviti i gradnju Tora.

– Kula Tor, prema Zaninoviću, građena je za vrijeme vladavine Demetrija Farskog u trećem stoljeću prije Krista da bi služila kao promatračnica Starogradskog polja i brodovlja. Prema drugoj skupini autora, Tor je izgrađen čak stoljeće ranije, kad i grčka kolonija Pharos, kao promatračnica polja. Revizijska istraživanja financirana od Ministarstva kulture trebala su nam dati nove spoznaje o gradini i utvrdi. Otvorene su dvije arheološke sonde koje, nažalost, nisu dale novih podataka – kaže arheolog Eduard Visković.

Daljnja istraživanja u ovoj godini usredotočit će se na dva područja. Na sjevernu prilaznu padinu brijega, gdje se na brojnim malim terasama koje su dijelom prirodne, a dijelom izrađene ljudskom rukom, pronalaze ulomci prapovijesne i crvenkaste antičke keramike i crijepa, a naročito u podnožju kamo su dospjele erozijom tla.

Te terase su, pretpostavlja se, podgradinsko naselje. Drugo područje istraživanja bit će stotinjak metara niže od početka strmine gradinskog brijega, tamo gdje on prelazi u zaravan i blaže padine na kojima su aktivni vinogradi.

Naime, uz put koji vodi u Jelsu, prije pedesetak godina pronađeni su grobovi. Prema opisu materijala koji je u njima pronađen, posudica i kopči, radilo se o ilirsko-grčkim ukopima, odnosno najvjerojatnije o ilirskim grobovima s helenističkim materijalom.

Recimo i to da osim arheoloških istraživanja, program zaštite i očuvanja utvrde Tor, koji je Muzej općine Jelsa započeo 2017. godine uz financijsku potporu Ministarstva kulture, također uključuje radove konstruktivne sanacije i rekonstrukcije objekta.

– Sva potrebna dokumentacija za te radove pribavljena je prethodnih godina, pa očekujemo i početak sanacijskih radova. Kulturno-povijesna vrijednost tog lokaliteta i dominantan položaj kule s koje se prostire pogled na Jelšansko i Starogradsko polje te na Hvarski kanal, privlače različite skupine izletnika.

Planirana obnova kule kao i njezina primjerena prezentacija svakako će pridonijeti pozitivnom iskustvu kako domaćih tako i stranih izletnika. Osim toga, kula Tor, zajedno s lokalitetom Galešnik koji se nalazi na obližnjoj uzvisini, predstavlja izniman resurs našeg prostora što se itekako može privesti svrsi kulturnog, arheološkog, pa i općenito aktivnog turizma – ističe Marija Plenković, ravnateljica Muzeja.“

  • On a tiny Italian island, scientists conducted a radical experiment to see if the bees were causing their wild cousins to decline

    Off the coast of Tuscany is a tiny island in the shape of a crescent moon. An hour from mainland Italy, Giannutri has just two beaches for boats to dock. In summer, hundreds of tourists flock there, hiking to the red and white lighthouse on its southern tip before diving into the clear waters. In winter, its population dwindles to 10. The island’s rocky ridges are coated with thickets of rosemary and juniper, and in warmer months the air is sweetened by flowers and the gentle hum of bees.

    “Residents are people who like fishing, or being alone, or who have retired. Everyone has their story,” says Leonardo Dapporto, associate professor at the University of Florence.

    Giannutri island’s remote location made it a perfect open-air laboratory for the bee experiments. Photographs: Giuseppe Nucci

  • The people of Johnshaven have watched the sea edge closer and closer. Preserving the path is key to protecting their community

    • Photographs by Murdo MacLeod

    When Charis Duthie moved to Johnshaven with her husband in 1984, she could cycle along the coastal path out of the village. Now, she meets a dead end where the sea has snatched the land and is instead greeted with a big red warning sign of what is to come: Danger Coastal Erosion.

    “You can see gardens that were there and now they’re gone,” she says.

    Johnshaven, on Scotland’s North Sea coast, will attract more visitors if it has a well maintained coastal path

  • Increasingly erratic water cycle is creating food scarcity, rising prices, conflict and migration, says UN agency

    Only a third of the world’s river basins experienced normal conditions last year as the climate crisis drove extremes of drought and flood, sometimes both in the same region.

    The increasingly erratic water cycle is creating big problems for societies and governments and causing billions of dollars in damage, scientists warned.

  • St Dominic, Tamar Valley: So far in early autumn, an abundance of ash keys and plump acorns – and the apple and pear trees are heavily laden

    At last, Atlantic weather has set in, bringing much-needed rain to green the hard-grazed turf and fields of cut hay and silage. A few late swallows swoop between hedgerows along sky-reflecting Summers Lane, and dart beneath the gate of the adjoining pony-trodden field. Before the rain, a battalion of 50 swallows gathered on wires by Corneale farm, perhaps in anticipation of the journey home.

    After the unusually early harvest of cereals (completed by mid-August), the earth beneath the stubble is softened; maize puts on yet more growth and should provide lots of fodder when gathered next month. Livestock farms are self-sufficient in winter feed, but some straw for bedding has been bought from upcountry, costing up to £120 per tonne.

  • Researchers from Imperial College London say 16,500 deaths caused by hot weather brought on by greenhouse gases

    Human-made global heating caused two in every three heat deaths in Europe during this year’s scorching summer, an early analysis of mortality in 854 big cities has found.

    Epidemiologists and climate scientists attributed 16,500 out of 24,400 heat deaths from June to August to the extra hot weather brought on by greenhouse gases.

  • Accommodation costs at climate summit in Belem are pricing out some developing countries and media outlets

    The United Nations has urged its staff to limit attendance at the Cop30 climate summit in Brazil in November due to high accommodation prices, while government delegations are still scrambling to find rooms within their budgets.

    The move comes as delegations grow increasingly concerned about the cost of accommodation in the coastal Amazon city of Belem hosting Cop30. Brazil said it was working to increase the number of available hotel beds, but soaring prices for accommodation have stoked calls from some governments to relocate the conference, which Brazilian officials have rejected.

    According to the Met Office, autumn in the UK began on 1 September, yet in the hedgerows around my home there have been signs of the season’s arrival for many weeks now, after the warmest summer on record.

    Hawthorn trees, which usually produce their crimson berries from mid-September onwards, have been festooned since the second week of August; while blackthorns are drooping under the weight of huge, ripe, purple sloes.

  • DIY expert Jaharn Quinn has spent 20 years upcycling homewares. She shares where to look and what to bring when hunting for pre-loved pieces

    I have always loved thrifting and upcycling. There’s no greater feeling than discovering a hidden gem at a thrift shop and upcycling it into something new, especially when you save hundreds – sometimes thousands – of dollars.

    I love flipping through interior magazines, poring over gorgeous images on Pinterest and scrolling through home tours on social media.

    Compile your thrifting inventory. This should include the items you are especially looking for, such as a bedside table or a chest of drawers. It’s inevitable that you’ll get sidetracked – which is half the fun – but a list helps you focus when you start to feel overwhelmed, which sometimes happens.

    Always carry cash. It makes it easier to bargain.

    Pack plenty of blankets or towels in your car. These will protect the pieces you find and keep them cushioned from moving around in your vehicle too much.

    Pack a toolkit including antibacterial wipesto wipe down secondhand furniture, removing the dust and dirt to see what’s underneath; measuring tape to see what will fit in your car and home; a notebook filled with ideas, house plans and measurements plus a pencil to jot more down; paint swatches to check for colours that can easily be integrated into your home; and a screwdriver set in case you need to take furniture apart to fit it into your car.
