  • Exploring Underwater Heritage in Croatia a Handbook Exploring Underwater Heritage in Croatia a Handbook
    exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook Zadar, 2009. AN ROMAN PERIOD SHIPWRECK WITH A CARGO OF AMPHORAE ROMaN PeRIOD ShIPWRecK IN The ČaVLIN ShaLLOWS There are several hundred Roman pe- riod shipwrecks in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, the majority of which are devastated, but about a dozen of which have survived the ravages of time and unethical looters. They have been preserved intact, or with only minor damage, which offers underwater archaeologists an oppor- tunity for complete research. The very large number of Roman ship- wrecks is not unexpected, but speaks rather of the intensity of trade and importance of navigation on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, and of the dangers our sea hides. Roman period shipwrecks can be dated either by the type of cargo they carried or by some further analysis (the age of the wood, for example), and the datings range from the 4th century BC to the 6th century. The cargos of these ships were varied: from fine pot- tery, vessels and plates, stone construction elements and brick to the most frequent cargo – amphorae. The amphora was used as packag- ing from the period of the Greece colonisation to the late Roman and the Byzantine supremacy. There are remains of shipwrecks with cargos of amphorae that can be researched on the seabed, covered by Archaeological underwater excavation with the aid of a water dredge protective iron cages, and there are those that, as per documentation, need to be raised to the surface and presented on land.

  • Uskotračna Pruga U Regiji Hercegovina/Dubrovnik Sagrađena Je Početkom 20
    Uskotračna pruga u regiji Hercegovina/Dubrovnik sagrađena je početkom 20. stoljeća i spajala je Mostar s Dubrovnikom i Konavlima u Hrvatskoj. Prvi ‘’Ćiro’’ prošao je ovom prugom 15. srpnja 1901. Ideja za revitalizaciju ove linije kao biciklističke staze stvorena je zajednički, s obje strane granice, u cilju očuvanja ove pruge kao povijesne baštine te razvijanja nove turističke ponude. Narrow gauge railway in Herzegovina/ Dubrovnik regions was built in the early 20th century, and conne- cted Mostar with Dubrovnik and Konavle in Croatia. The first ‘’Ćiro’’ passed this railway on 15 July, 1901. The idea to revitalize this line as a bicycle rout was born jointly from both side of the border in order to preserve this railway line as a historical heritage and to develop new tourism offer.

  • Traces of Oral Narration in Konavle
    Nar. urn jet. 35/1, 1998, pp. 137-155, M. Boskovic-Stulli, Traces of Oral Narration in.. Original scientific paper Received: 10.2.1998 Accepted: 31.3.1998 UDK 398:886.2.09-32 MAJA BOŠKOVIĆ-STULLI Zagreb TRACES OF ORAL NARRATION IN KONAVLE The style of this article avoids the usual scholarly fashion. The author has already written several studies ahout Bogišic's collection in a more "scientific" way: In this text, M. Roskovie-Stulli follows the paths of her own wanderings and the stories she heard all over Konavle forty, and even more than forty, years ago — she tries to conjure up at least something of the narrators of that time, of the local stories, and of that landscape seen through its legends. Keywords: Croatian oral literature, oral prose, Konavle I feel the presence of Konavle now, to use the words of Villon, as my "snows of yesteryear" — as les neiges d'antan. Born and raised in northern inland regions of Croatia, the encounter with the landscape and history of that Mediterranean rural community near the City of Duhrovnik, everything I got to know and accept in that part of Croatia, was brought home to me in the family circle of my husband, who was born in Dubrovnik, and his relatives. Most of my Konavle narrators — male and female — whose oral narratives are the subject of this article, are long dead or in very advanced years now. Many of the younger ones have probably emigrated and also grown old — and I have never heard from them again. Finally, the war at the beginning of the 1990s: Konavle devastated and destroyed.

    Dubrovnik Annals 19 (2015): pp. 99-121 99 Original paper UDC 821.163.42.09 Ferić, Đ. 821.124(497.5).09 Ferić, Đ. GJURO FERRICH’S PERIEGESIS ORAE RHACUSANAE (1803) AS A TRAVEL POLEMIC WENDY BRACEWELL ABSTRACT: Gjuro Ferrich’s Periegesis orae Rhacusanae (1803) has been read as a description of Ragusa’s territories, as a sarcastic commentary on Ragusan manners and morals, and as a poetic paraphrase of physiocratic ideas. Now a hitherto unstudied letter from the author suggests that it should also be read as a ‘counter-travelogue’, a polemical reply to a foreign account of Ragusa. This study sets Ferrich’s Periegesis in context, examining its relationship to Francesco Maria Appendini’s Notizie (1802-03); the different models Ferrich may have drawn upon in framing his text; and the insights into particular images provided by a polemical reply to Ferrich composed by Marin Zlatarich. Ferrich’s Periegesis emerges as a ‘discreet’ polemic, with different messages addressed to its domestic readers on the one hand and its foreign audience on the other. Keywords: Đuro Ferić, Marin Zlatarić, travel polemics, counter-travelogue, transnational cultural exchange. In 1803 Gjuro Ferrich [or Đuro Ferić in modern Croatian], a Ragusan secular clergyman and Latinist, published a long travel poem in Latin hexameter. In this Periegesis orae Rhacusanae, or Description of the coast of Ragusa, he recounts the places, people, customs, history and natural beauty of the territory of the Republic of Ragusa as seen or heard in the course of his excursions. Since its publication, Ferrich’s work has been used by travellers and historians Wendy Bracewell is professor of South East European History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies of the University College London.

  • Marina Ploce, Ploce
    MaRIna PloCe, Ploce PRoJeCT desCRIPTIon The project includes construction of a nautical port – marina Ploče in Ploče with a maximum capacity of 400 berths at a site called Pod cestom in the Baćine area. Based on the Amendments to the Physical Plan of the Town of Ploče (adopted on April 18, 2017), the main characteristics of the nautical port are: Dubrovnik • a total project area of approximately 9.33 hectares, which will include 1.34 hectares of land area and 7.99 hectares of water area. Zagreb • different versions of the port solution will be permitted, provided that they comply with the Development Plan for the Pod cestom area and the results of an environmental impact study and a maritime study. • reconstruction and conversion of existing facilities into port auxiliary facilities will be permitted. The conceptual design prepared by the town of Ploče offers two options for the development of this project: 1. The first option includes construction of 282 berths, parking space for 101 cars, dry berths, an exit station - travel lift, and reconstruction of the existing facilities (the site was previously used as a technical workshop, so there are currently several unused facilities) into a restaurant, a reception area, shops and storage space. 2. The second option is an extended version of the first, which, in addition to the facilities built in the first option, envisages the full commercialization of the area, including the construction of a hotel with 140 beds, more berths (up to 400 in total), and a facility with shops, storage and a garage with 240 parking spaces.

  • Fabled Sarajevo and the Glorious Coast of Croatia & Montenegro
    With Smith Lecturer BOSILJKA GLUMAC FABLED SARAJEVO and THE GLORIOUS COAST of CROATIA & MONTENEGRO Aboard the All-Suite, 50-Cabin Corinthian June 23 – July 4, 2014 EARLY REGISTRATION SAVINGS OF $1,000 PER CABIN Dear Alumnae and Friends, There are certain journeys that are so unique, they capture the imagination of travelers. The journey described in this brochure, which combines an exploration of Sarajevo—one of the most intriguing cities in all of Europe—with a cruise along the sublime coast of Croatia and Montenegro, is certainly one such journey. Sarajevo, where our adventure begins, is one of Europe’s most fascinating and loveliest cities. Yet few travelers have visited this remarkable European capital. Lying between gently sloping hills in a splendid river valley, Sarajevo is a city with a rich, vibrant culture that draws upon the traditions of Christians, Jews, and Muslims who have coexisted and intermingled here for centuries. Noted for its scenic setting and its unusual historical and cultural monuments, Sarajevo is also known for an architecture that blends elegant modern boulevards with the narrow lanes and buildings of the Old Town, where the markets will remind you of the souks of the Middle East. June 23 – July 4, 2014 As we travel from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik we will pass through glorious scenery to visit Mostar, where the buildings and its landmark stone bridge—set majestically along the banks of the pale-green Neretva River—reveal both oriental traditions and western influences. In beautiful Dubrovnik, known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” you will enjoy a full day exploring one of the finest medieval cities in Europe, where the streets are lined with splendid examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and baroque architecture, before boarding the 100-guest Corinthian—the perfect vessel for navigating the islands and inlets and bays of Croatia’s and Montenegro’s famed coastline.
