Back in 11th century Knin was the capital city of king Dmitar Zvonimir and even today the city is also known as Zvonimir's city. Knin fortress is one of the largest Croatian fortification monuments and the second largest military fortification in Europe. It's an extremely rugged and it is preserved in all its parts making it a living monument. On the road from Knin to Split we'll make a stop in a small village caled Biskupija, a site which used to be a central place of government, church and culture in the early Croatian state during the Middle Ages. Considering its vital significance in Croatian history, it is no wonder Biskupija today is a place of study for Croatian national archeology as one of the most significant Croatian archaeological site. After Knin, we are going in Šibenik, Croatia’s first major coastal and coronation city dating to 11th century, but also a city where the most important Croatian king Petar Krešimir 4th ruled for almost 20 years. We'll take you through this medieval town and show you it's most important sightings including the most valuable cultural monument in town, Cathedral of St. James protected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

In the municipality of Dugopolje, we'll take you to the amazing cave Vranjača and after we'll take a ride to the ethno village of Klis. Vranjača cave is situated at the foot of the central part of Mosor, on its northern side. Meet the wonderful underground world of stalactites and stalagmites and underground sculptures created through thousands of years of work of water far from daylight and the human gaze. Here you will discover all the richness this underground beauty has to offer. By taking a walk through the ethno village of Klis, you'll come to find that this old Dalmatian village is an authentic ambient space surrounded by wild nature, olive grove and aroma park. In the village, we'll discover the old way of life through the magic of Mediterranean architecture, old ethno collection and various degustation’s.

Solin is also known as the antique Salona. The size, wealth and magnificence of the ancient city is testified by its impressive walls with towers and gates, a forum with temples, a theater and an amphitheater. Following the Great Migration, a part of the ruined and abandoned Salona was inhabited by the Croats. Queen Jelena built the Church of Saint Mary that served as the tomb of Croatian rulers. Jelena died on 8 October 976 and was buried in that church, where a royal inscription on her sarcophagus "Mother of the Kingdom". Also, Solin was the place in which the king Dmitar Zvonimir gained his title with the support of Pope Gregory 7th and was crowned as the King of Croatia.

Split is an eternally young city with a warm Mediterranean temper and has already lived its urban rhythm for 1700 years with its heart in the Diocletian's Palace.

    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

  • 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.

  • Some Preliminary Results and Analysis of Different Geodynamic Techniques with Special Remark on Gps and Tiltmeter Measurements in Croatia
    0569 SOME PRELIMINARY RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT GEODYNAMIC TECHNIQUES WITH SPECIAL REMARK ON GPS AND TILTMETER MEASUREMENTS IN CROATIA Yüksel ALTINER1, Krešimir COLIC2 And Radovan MARJANOVIC - KAVANAGH3 SUMMARY Croatia lies in a region, which is seismotectonically very active. The main reasons for this are the Adriatic microplate movements towards the Dinarides, with its different specific densities of rock masses in the crust. There are several zones in the Adriatic Sea but also along the Adriatic Coast experiencing in the past heavy earthquakes with damages in cities (Dubrovnik, Makarska, Rijeka, Ston, and Zadar). Also, there are some local zones in the inland regions (Gospiæ, Knin, Zagreb and others) which are not directly coupled with the above mentioned dynamics. Therefore, several different measuring methods and techniques applied in different zones are used (and others are planned) to determine the changes in position, height, tilting, and gravity, which will enable the creation of better earthquake prevention models. Two main projects for deformation monitoring are still running. The first project is: a) The monitoring of the Adriatic Sea area deformations with a part of the inner land, and the other is b) the local deformation net of the broader area of Zagreb. The monitoring is based on GPS measurements. For the investigation of the present tectonic activities in the Adriatic Sea area, a wider GPS network was established. The network consists of 22 stations that are distributed over Croatia (17), Slovenia (3) and Italy (2). In 1996, the network was extended towards the south and west with 7 stations in Albania (4) and Italy (3).

    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

Studying and reconstructing historical systems contributes not only to the preservation of historical buildings and development of tourism but also to the culture of living and development of hydrotechnical profession. This paper presents the water supply system of Diocletian's Palace in Split. It describes the 9.5 km long Roman aqueduct, built at the turn of 3rd century AD. It was thoroughly reconstructed in the late 19th century and is still used for water supply of the city of Split. The fact that the structure was built 17 centuries ago and is still technologically acceptable for water supply, speaks of the high level of engineering knowledge of Roman builders. In the presentation of this structure this paper not only departs from its historical features, but also strives to present its technological features and the possible construction technology.

  • Prometna Povezanost
    Tourism Introduction Zadar County encompasses marine area from Island Pag to National Park Kornati and land area of Velebit, i.e. the central part of the Croatian coastline. This is the area of true natural beauty, inhabited from the Antique period, rich with cultural heritage, maritime tradition and hospitality. Zadar County is the heart of the Adriatic and the fulfilment of many sailors' dreams with its numerous islands as well as interesting and clean underwater. It can easily be accessed from the sea, by inland transport and airways. Inseparable unity of the past and the present can be seen everywhere. Natural beauties, cultural and historical monuments have been in harmony for centuries, because men lived in harmony with nature. As a World rarity, here, in a relatively small area, within a hundred or so kilometres, one can find beautiful turquoise sea, mountains covered with snow, fertile land, rough karst, ancient cities and secluded Island bays. This is the land of the sun, warm sea, olives, wine, fish, song, picturesque villages with stone- made houses, to summarise - the true Mediterranean. History of Tourism in Zadar Tourism in Zadar has a long tradition. The historical yearbooks record that in June 1879 a group of excursionists from Vienna visited Zadar, in 1892 the City Beautification Society was founded (active until 1918), and in 1899 the Mountaineering and Tourism Society "Liburnia" was founded. At the beginning of the XX century, in March 1902 hotel Bristol was opened to the public (today's hotel Zagreb). Most important period for the development of tourism in Zadar County lasted from the 60's - 80's of the 20th century, when the majority of the hotel complexes were erected.
