Dubrovnik A group of refugees from Epidaurum (today’s Cavtat) founded Dubrovnik in the first half of the 7th century. The city was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire through the 12th century. From 1205-1358, Dubrovnik fell under the sovereignty of Venice. Dubrovnik ruled itself as a free state between the 14th century and 1808 as the Republic of Dubrovnik. It flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and became the chief shipping rival to Venice. A devastating earthquake in 1667 killed over 5,000 citizens and marked the beginning of the decline for the Republic. The Republic officially met its demise in 1808 after Napoleon’s armies conquered it and Marshal Marmont abolished the Republic and integrated it into the Illyrian provinces. Since 1808, Dubrovnik has fallen under attack, been occupied and annexed several times, most recently as part of the second Yugoslavia (1945-1991); however, it continues to be one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities on the entire Adriatic. With its medieval walls that surround the old city, and the ancient buildings contained within, Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage site unlike any other.

HOTEL REMISENS PALACE 4*, Opatija The hotel is located only 1 minute on foot from the seafront. One of the most renowned hotels in Opatija, the Remisens Premium Grand Hotel Palace is set in a recently renovated Secession building, beautifully located along the main street facing the sea. In summer evenings you can enjoy themed dinners and musical events on the large hotel’s terrace. The rooms are decorated in pastel colours and are equipped with a flat-screen cable TV, AC, Wi-Fi… The hotel features a spa, wellness centre, indoor pool with heated seawater, a peaceful relaxation area, Finnish and Turkish saunas… A variety of massages and beauty treatments are available. The elegant, air- conditioned restaurant serves a buffet breakfast. The nearest pebble beach is only a 10-minute walk from the hotel. OPATIJA Opatija was the one of the first towns to develop tourism in Croatia and on the Adriatic Sea. Austrian secession architecture is the predominant building style, a reminder of the mid-19th century when the main visitors were the Central European upper class and political elite. Opatija still today remains a synonym for a stylish travel destination. We suggest a stroll on the Lungomare, a seaside promenade (the longest in Croatia with 12 km) connecting the fishing towns of Volosko and Lovran.

  • Identity and Language Shift Among Vlashki/Zheyanski Speakers in Croatia1

Vlashki/Zheyanski is a severely endangered Eastern Romance language known in the linguistic literature as Istro-Romanian. In order to study the domains and frequency of use of the language and equally to examine speaker attitudes about language and iden- tity, we administered a questionnaire to speakers in both locations. Our sample included responses from individuals in four age groups. Our discussion here focuses on 16 men and women from the two older groups, 51–70 and 71-and- older. In Žejane, speakers saw knowledge of the language and family lineage as defining components of being a “real” member of the community. The name for the language, Zheyanski, comes from the village name. Hence, someone who speaks the language asserts that village belonging and village affiliation are at the core of speakers’ identity. In terms of national identification, whether Croatian, Italian, and/or Istrian, Zheyanski speakers by and large showed little enthusiasm for any of the three choices.

Mihovila, Rudina – budućnost povijesnoga graditeljstva istraživanje i proučavanje samostanskih ostataka s motrišta zaštite graditeljske baštine sažetak U promišljanju budućnosti nekadašnjega samostanskog kompleksa sv. Mi- haela na Rudini, danas izuzetno važnog lokaliteta za hrvatsku kulturu, nai- lazimo na niz nedosljednosti u istraživanju koje su se godinama ponavljale. Istraživanja ili nije bilo ili su bila ograničena i, što je najvažnije, jako zakašnjela. Nužna je temeljita i interdisciplinarna analiza kako bi se što je kvalitetnije moguće odradilo daljnje istraživanje i, u konačnici, prezentacija. Integralni proces obrade graditeljske baštine koji se kao kompletiran sustav istražnih radova s različitih aspekata treba ovdje primijeniti jest upravo ono o čemu govore i arheolozi, i konzervatori, i povjesničari, i povjesničari umjetno- sti. Takvi radovi obuhvaćaju istraživanja, dokumentiranja i valorizaciju s gledi- šta svih pojedinačnih struka, da bi se u konačnici iznjedrile programske smjer- nice za rekonstrukciju, konzervaciju i prezentaciju samostanskoga kompleksa i okoliša. U radu je rekonstruiran samostanski kompleks na temelju dostupne građe te je analiziran tlocrt, pri čemu se pokazuje da samostan nije nastao slu- čajnom gradnjom već pomnim arhitektonskim i umjetničkim djelovanjem. S gledišta arhitekture, točnije zaštite graditeljske baštine, daje se niz prijed- loga koje bi bilo dobro uključiti u daljnje istraživačke procese. Ključne riječi: Rudina; samostan sv. Mihovila arkanđela; romanika; roma- nička arhitektura; Požega. Nakon iznimno vrijednog članka Anđele Horvat1 iz 1962.

The atheistic Communist Party dictatorships that succeeded the Nazis throughout most of the region were insensitive to American Jewish concerns about the preservation of the sites.
