  • Split & Central Dalmatia
    © Lonely Planet Publications 216 Split & Central Dalmatia Central Dalmatia is the most action-packed, sight-rich and diverse part of Croatia, with dozens of castles, fascinating islands, spectacular beaches, dramatic mountains, quiet ports and an emerg- ing culinary scene, not to mention Split’s Diocletian Palace and medieval Trogir (both Unesco World Heritage sites). In short, this part of Croatia will grip even the most picky visitor. The region stretches from Trogir in the northwest to Ploče in the southeast. Split is its largest city and a hub for bus and boat connections along the Adriatic coast. The rugged DALMATIA DALMATIA 1500m-high Dinaric Range provides the dramatic background to the region. SPLIT & CENTRAL SPLIT & CENTRAL Diocletian’s Palace is a sight like no other (a Roman ruin and the living soul of Split) and it would be a cardinal Dalmatian sin to miss out on the sights, bars, restaurants and general buzz inside it. The Roman ruins in Solin are altogether a more quiet, pensive affair, while Trogir is a tranquil city that’s preserved its fantastic medieval sculpture and architecture. Then there is Hvar Town, the region’s most popular destination, richly ornamented with Renais- sance architecture, good food, a fun atmosphere and tourists – who are in turn ornamented with deep tans, big jewels and shiny yachts. Let’s not forget the coastline: you can choose from the slender and seductive Zlatni Rat on Brač, wonderful beaches in Brela on the Makarska Riviera, secluded coves on Brač, Šolta and Vis, or gorgeous (and nudie) beaches on the Pakleni Islands off Hvar.

  • Croatia Page 1 of 6
    Croatia Page 1 of 6 Croatia International Religious Freedom Report 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution provides for freedom of conscience and religion and free public profession of religious conviction, and the Government generally respects these rights in practice. There is no official state religion; however, the Roman Catholic Church enjoys a close relationship with the State not shared by other religious groups. The legal position of most major religious communities has improved due to agreements with the State, which grant benefits similar to those enjoyed by the Catholic Church. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and the coalition Government that took power in 2003 has continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion. Religion and ethnicity are linked closely in society. Since independence in 1991, religious institutions of all faiths were victimized by the ethnic conflicts that led to the breakup of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. There were sporadic reports of intimidation and vandalism, particularly in the war-affected areas, directed against Serbian Orthodox clergy and property, although there was a decrease in severity and frequency of such attacks. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. Embassy officials frequently met with representatives of religious and ethnic minority communities and with government officials. Section I. Religious Demography The country has a total area of 21,831 square miles, and its population is approximately 4,437,000.

  • Doseljenici U Splitu Početkom 19. Stoljeća I Njihova Prezimena
    Nevenka Bezić-Božanić Split DOSELJENICI U SPLITU POČETKOM 19. STOLJEćA I NJIHOVA PREZIMENA UDK 808.87:801:313 Rad primljen 8. travnja 1988. Split je potkraj 18. stoljeća životario u do kraja iscrpljenoj Mletačkoj Republici očekujući bolje dane vezane uz vijesti što bi kadkod stigle morskim putem o novim strujanjima u Evropi. I dok su jedni pristajali uz ideje fran­ cuske revolucije, drugi su se zanosili vjekovnim težnjama pripojenja Dalma­ cije s Hrvatskom. Stoga Veliko vijeće splitske komune 17. lipnja 1797 . .go­ dine donosi odluku da se Split pripoji Hrvatskoj, što je Beč razbio odmah nakon mira u Campoformiju u listopadu te godine, kad je preuzeo vlast nad Dalmacijom. Nakon požunskog mira 1805. godine Dalmacija je pripala Francuskoj i tako ušla u sastav novoosnovane Kraljevine Italije pod vladavi· nom Napoleona. No 1813. godine Split ponovo dolazi pod austrijsku upravu. Francuska vlast nastojala je privredno ojačati Split izgradnjom cesta sa za­ leđem, ali nije bilo nekog vidljivog napretka, pa Split i dalje životari sa svojih oko šest tisuća stanovnika. Iako je Split u to vrijeme već bio crkveno podijeljen na tri župe: grad sa sjedištem u stelnici, Varoš-Dobri u crkvi ·sv. Križa, te Lučac-Manuš u crkvi sv. Petra, matične knjige vjenčanih, rođenih i umrlih vodile su ·se za čitavo područje Splita u župi Grad. Lučac i Manuš uspostavljaju svoje knjige 1825. godine, a Varoš i Dobri će to učiniti tek 1828. godine. I dok u Split 18. stoljeća doseljavaju uglavnom mletački činovnici, poneki trgovac i pomorac, te obrtnici manje poznatih obrta, u osvitu novog stoljeća u gradu nalazimo veći broj doseljenika iz čitave Dalmacije, Apeninskog polu­ otoka, Austrougarske Carevine i nekih mediterans!kih i evropskih zemalja.
