Croatia’s architecture and personality has been
influenced over the centuries by the Romans, Venetians,
Hungarians, Turks and French.
Step into another world in Dubrovnik, which lies on
the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. Known as the 'Pearl
of the Adriatic,' the city became an important Mediterranean
Sea power in the 13th century. Today Dubrovnik’s
world-famous cultural heritage and beauty is recognized
as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its Gothic, Renaissance
and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.
Or explore the history of Split, the home of the stunning
Diocletian’s Palace, which was, and continues
to be, the heart of the inner city of Split, and is
one of the most famous and integral architectural
and cultural constructs on the Croatian Adriatic coast.
Ancient wonders and modern delights wait to be discovered
around every corner of this spectacular country.
