History

Lodged on the borders of the Mediterranean, Central Europe and the Balkans, Croatia has long been a mingling point for different cultures and traditions.

As a consequence it is one of the richest countries in Europe for those in search of historical attractions, with museums devoted to prehistory and ancient archeology, and a wealth of fine architecture ranging from Roman to Byzantine, Renaissance and Baroque.
