The Tuzla Archaeology Park, managed by Public Utility "Pannonica" Tuzla, has been operational since its establishment in 2006. Located in the city of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the park showcases a replica of a Neolithic settlement, offering insight into life 7,000 years ago with nine reconstructed pile dwellings and displays depicting daily activities. It serves as a hub for sustainable cultural tourism, attracting around 1,500 visitors annually, particularly through organized group tours and during the summer season, contributing to the region's tourism sector while preserving and promoting its historical heritage. This initiative has been supported by funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
