Apartments Sabljak, Bibinje - Riviera Zadar, Croatia
More accommodations in Croatia:
Bibinje,a place of life and Dalmatian magic,adhered immediately along the south-east side of the Zadar,it takes only a few minutes from the mysterious silence of the historical Bibanum to get to the crowd of white Jader,the centre of the region,events,St.Donatus,sun ,sea organ...
Bibinje is wrapped by a veil of airy summer nights and the song opf a cappela bands which interwine with the starts in the clear sky.
Bibinje with about four thousands inhabitants,prepared to fulfil all your wishes,is spread over four kilometres of clear Adriatic coast.The history of Bibinje beggins with the first millennium ,the time of a Roman Empire.The name Bibanum was first mentioned in the books of the 11th century.To enter Bibinje history,inseparable from Zadar and Christianity,means to feel the sense of the tradition immersed in old wooden barrels ,exposed to wind and weather on the peninsula on which Staro selo lies.There you can see the church of the Nativity of St.John the Baptist built in the first half of the 15th century,with a collection of sacred objects from the same time.Also there is a baroque church of St.Roch,the protector of the souls of the embodiments of Bibinje,established in the 16th century.
The whole Bibinje summer is mottled by events,folklore evenings,festivities,concerts...But Bibinje everyday life is event itself-conversation between two ladies at the market,sleepy eyed fishermen in the harbour,the play of light-as if you magically get into the film from a different time...
The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik (UNESCO/NHK)
The Cathedral of St James in Šibenik (1431-1535), on the Dalmatian coast, bears witness to the considerable exchanges in the field of monumental arts between Northern Italy, Dalmatia and Tuscany in the 15th and 16th centuries. The three architects who succeeded one another in the construction of the Cathedral - Francesco di Giacomo, Georgius Mathei Dalmaticus and Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino - developed a structure built ...

Words at War: The Ship / From the Land of the Silent People / Prisoner of the Japs
The Yugoslav Front, also known as the National Liberation War, was a complex conflict that took place during World War II (1941--1945) in occupied Yugoslavia. The war began after the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was overrun by Axis forces and partitioned between Germany, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and client regimes. Primarily it was a guerilla liberation war fought by the communist-led, republican Yugoslav Partisans against the Axis occupying forces and their locally-established puppet regimes, such as the Independent State of Croatia and the Nedić government. At the same time, it was a civil war between the Yugoslav Partisans and anti-communist paramilitaries, such as the Serbian royalist Chetniks and the Slovene Home Guard, whose level of collaboration and coordination with the Axis occupiers varied.
Both the Yugoslav Partisans and the Chetnik movement initially resisted the occupation. However, after 1941, the Chetniks adopted a policy of collaboration. They collaborated extensively and systematically with the Italian occupation forces until the Italian capitulation, and thereon also with German and Ustaše forces.[13][14] The Axis mounted a series of offensives intended to destroy the Partisans, coming close to doing so in winter and spring of 1943. Despite the setbacks, the Partisans remained a credible fighting force, gaining recognition from the Western Allies and laying the foundations for the post-war Yugoslav state. With support in logistics, equipment, training, and air power from the Western Allies, and Soviet ground troops in the Belgrade Offensive, the Partisans eventually gained control of the entire country and of border regions of Italy and Austria.
The human cost of the war was enormous. The number of war victims is still in dispute, but is generally agreed to have been at least one million. Non-combat victims included the majority of the country's Jewish population, many of whom perished in concentration and extermination camps (e.g. Jasenovac, Banjica) run by the client regimes. In addition, the Croatian Ustaše regime committed genocide against local Serbs and Roma, the Chetniks pursued ethnic cleansing against the Muslim and Croat population, and Italian occupation authorities against Slovenes. German troops also carried out mass executions of civilians in retaliation for resistance activity (Kragujevac massacre). Finally, during and after the final stages of the war, Yugoslav authorities and Partisan troops carried out reprisals, including the deportation of the Danube Swabian population, forced marches and executions of thousands of captured collaborators and civilians fleeing their advance (Bleiburg massacre), and atrocities against the Italian population in Istria (Foibe killings).
