Nin - Croatia (Horvátország)
Egy sekély lagúna közepén elterülő szigeten fekszik. Alagúnában számos sólepárló működik. A városkát hidak kötik össze a szárazfölddel. Horvátország, azon belül Dalmácia történelmének számos emlékét találjuk az illír-liburnok által alapított helyen, melyet a horvátok honfoglalásuk után hamarosan birtokba vettek. Királyi várat építettek, püspökséget alapítottak. A 10. században Grgur (Gergely) püspök székhelye volt, aki sikertelen küzdelmet vívott szláv népnyelv egyházi használatáért. Grgur püspök zsinatokat szervezett székvárosában, de a pápa hajlíthatatlan volt, a latin nyelvű liturgia még közel ezer évig megmaradt.
A püspök emlékét, a településen szobor őrzi.
A Sv. Kriz (Szent Kereszt)-templom a 11. században épült, a legkisebb katedrális nevet kapta a művészettörténészektől. Az egykori római fórumon álló Sv. Mihovil (Szent Mihály)-templom 9. századi eredetű.
A városkában a templomokon kívül a római kortól a 17. századig terjedő időszak számos műemlék épülete és épületmaradványa érdemes megtekintésre.

Zadar In Your Pocket - Roman Forum
The Roman Forum - the largest on this side of the Adriatic - was founded by the first Emperor Augustus, as documented on two 3rd Century stone inscriptions on the site. A raised area on the west side was the site of a temple dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. To one side a Pillar of Shame still stands, where naughty people were chained and pilloried. (A second one was taken away and now stands near the Three Wells Square). The Forum also comprised a basilica and rooms for council chambers and citizens' assemblies. Underneath was a colonnade where shops and workshops once stood. The site was only discovered in the 1930s. Allied bombers inadvertently assisted in the clearing process, and site was completely cleared and restored between 1964 and '67. One of the most beautiful things about these remains is the way that they are still a part of the fabric of the city. No signs forbid you to touch or sit on the stones.
Take time one evening to sit and imagine the bustle of the traders, the grandeur of the pagan temples and the horrors of the blood sacrifices that took place on the very altars you can see on this spot.

Zadar, a Historical Center of Dalmatia, Croatia
Zadar is a city in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. It is the centre of Zadar County and the wider northern Dalmatian region. Zadar is a historical center of Dalmatia as well as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zadar.
Zadar gained its urban structure in Roman times; during the time of Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus, the town was fortified and the city walls with towers and gates were built. On the western side of the town were the forum, the basilica and the temple, while outside the town were the amphitheatre and cemeteries. The aqueduct which supplied the town with water is partially preserved. Inside the ancient town, a medieval town had developed with a series of churches and monasteries being built.
During the Middle Ages, Zadar fully gained its urban aspect, which has been maintained until today. In the first half of the 16th century, Venice fortified the town with a new system of defensive walls on the side facing land. In the course of the century architectural building in the Renaissance style was continued and defensive trenches were also built. They were completely buried during the Italian occupation until that in 1873, under Austrian rule, the ramparts of Zadar were converted from fortifications into elevated promenades commanding extensive seaward and landward views, thus being the wall lines preserved; of its four old gates one, the Porta Marina, incorporates the relics of a Roman arch, and another, the Porta di Terraferma, was designed in the 16th century. In the bombardments during the Second World War entire blocks were destroyed, but some structures survived.

Split, Croatia - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Split
Top best places to visit in Split, Croatia
Split is the second largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia.
It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and because of its ideal climate, with a lot of sun each year, locals often nicknamed their city as the “Mediterranean Flower”.
Split is built around the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian and wandering the historic center you can still clearly see the Roman temples, squares, streets, gates and walls.
On the main square stands a building, originally built around year 300 as a mausoleum for the Roman emperor Diocletian, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the oldest cathedral building in the world.
There are four entrances to the Palace:
Through the monumental, eastern Silver Gate.
Through the western Iron Gate with the old city clock counting 24 digits. Outside this gate is located the Old Town Hall and the People’s Square, the central venue of the city’s social life.
The Golden Gate, the northern entrance, is a favorite tourist spot, together with the nearby grandiose statue of the Gregory of Nin.
The southern Brass Gate is modest in size but also the “main” gate as the tourists pass through it most frequently coming and going on the Riva, the main city promenade.
At the other end of the Riva promenade is situated a beautiful venetian plaza, the Republic Square.
Split is an oasis for those who look for a natural stress relief.
On Marian Hill there is a big forest park with wonderful panoramic views.
Around the park are many perfect places to swim, like the Kasjuni Beach.
Or, favorites among locals, the beautiful pine forest Bene Beach.
Split has many museums worth a visit, such as:
The Archaeological Museum, the oldest museum in Croatia.
The Museum of Fine Arts, which contains works from the 14th century up to the present day.
The Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments that presents cultural artifacts of the Croats in the Middle Ages.
The Mestrovic Gallery, an art museum dedicated to the work of the sculptor, Ivan Meštrović.
The city is a home for one of the biggest and oldest theaters in Croatia, the National Theater.
In Split you can not miss the multi-use stadium as it is one of the sportiest cities in the world.
Just outside the city are the ruins of Salona one of the biggest towns of the Roman Empire.
It has a very well preserved basilica, cemetery, amphitheater and many other Roman buildings.
About 10 km from Split there is the Klis Fortress, a medieval stronghold with fascinating history and an incredible view.

RIJEKA & ZADAR | Slovenia & Croatia | Road Trip
Two beautiful cities and a breathtaking trip between them.

RIJEKA is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and has a population of 128,624 inhabitants. Historically, because of its strategic position and its excellent deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially among Italy, Hungary (serving as the Kingdom of Hungary's largest and most important port), and Croatia, changing hands and demographics many times over centuries. The city has a strong sense of identity and the autochthonous inhabitants of Rijeka are referred to as Fiumans.
ZADAR is the oldest continuously-inhabited Croatian city. It is situated on the Adriatic Sea, at the northwestern part of Ravni Kotari region. Zadar serves as the seat of Zadar County and of the wider northern Dalmatian region. The city proper covers 25 km2 (9.7 sq mi) with a population of 75,082 in 2011, making it the second-largest city of the region of Dalmatia and the fifth-largest city in the country.
The area of present-day Zadar traces its earliest evidence of human life from the late Stone Age, while numerous settlements date as early as the Neolithic[citation needed]. Before the Illyrians, an ancient Mediterranean people of a pre-Indo-European culture inhabited the area. Zadar traces its origin to its 9th-century BC founding as a settlement of the Illyrian tribe of Liburnians known as Iader[citation needed].
In 59 BC it was renamed Iadera when it became a Roman municipium. In 48 BC it became a Roman colonia. During Roman rule Zadar acquired the characteristics of a traditional Ancient Roman city with a regular road network, a public square, and an elevated capitolium with a temple.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and the destruction of Salona by the Avars and Croats in 614, Zadar became the capital of the Byzantine theme of Dalmatia. In the beginning of the 9th century, Zadar came briefly under Frankish rule, but the Pax Nicephori returned it to the Byzantines in 812. The first Croatian rulers gained brief control over the city in 10th century. In 998 Zadar swore allegiance to Doge Pietro Orseolo II and became a vassal of the Republic of Venice. In 1186 it placed itself under the protection of Béla III, King of Hungary.
In 1202 the Venetians, with the help of Crusaders, reconquered and sacked Zadar. Hungary regained control over the city in 1358, when it was given to king Louis I of Hungary. In 1409 king Ladislaus I sold Zadar to the Venetians. When the Turks conquered the Zadar hinterland at the beginning of the 16th century, the town became an important stronghold, ensuring Venetian trade in the Adriatic, the administrative center of the Venetian territories in Dalmatia and a cultural center. This fostered an environment in which arts and literature could flourish, and between the 15th and 17th centuries Zadar came under the influence of the Renaissance, giving rise to many important Italian Renaissance figures like Giorgio Ventura and Giovanni Francesco Fortunio, who wrote the first Italian grammar book, and many famous Croatian writers, such as Petar Zoranić, Brne Krnarutić, Juraj Baraković and Šime Budinić, who wrote in the Croatian language.
After the fall of Venice in 1797 Zadar came under the Austrian rule until 1918, except for the period of short-term French rule (1805–1813), still remaining the capital of Dalmatia. During French rule the first newspaper in the Croatian language, Il Regio Dalmata – Kraglski Dalmatin, was published in Zadar (1806–1810). During the 19th century Zadar functioned as a center of the Croatian movement for cultural and national revival in a context of increasing polarization and politicization of ethnic identities between Croats and Dalmatian Italians.
With the 1920 Treaty of Rapallo Zadar was given to the Kingdom of Italy. During World War II, it was bombed by the Allies and witnessed the evacuation of ethnic Italians. Partisans captured the city on 1 November1944; in 1947 it officially became part of SR Croatia, a federal constituent of the SFR Yugoslavia, whose armed forces defended it in October 1991 from the Serb forces who aimed to capture it.

UNESCO's World Heritage Site list included the fortified city of Zadar as part of Venetian Works of Defence between 15th and 17th centuries: Stato da Terra – western Stato da Mar in 2017.[4]
Trekking downstream of the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia , Split , Mediterranean Dubrovnik
16 lakes lined up on a 90 million-pyeong ground, one of which is green, another is blue, and the other is white. Then there are about 90 waterfalls and 30 caves that are connected to the lake. It takes a bit of trouble to walk on fresh ground, but Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park allows people to come without any difficulties. If you see the beauty of karst terrain that you've only heard in words, you'll see how blessed this land is. Here you can forget about the history of the Adriatic Sea and the Balkans. Just enjoy the magnificent magnificence created by nature with the cool and refreshing breeze that feels with your nose.
In 295 AD, Emperor Diocletian of Rome chose the town of Split on the Adriatic Sea as a city for the rest of his life and began to build a palace. Ten years later, when the palace was completed, the emperor peacefully handed over his retirement and retired to live the elder's life. Split is the place where the Roman emperor, who had never been envious of the world, chose and chosen for his journey. It is now the second largest port city in Croatia, with around 250,000 inhabitants, easily accessible by public transport from the capital, Zagreb, and close to Dubrovnik, the highlight of Croatian travel.
One of the world's most magnificent Roman monuments is the Diocletian Palace, the Cathedral, the Belfry, the Emperor's Residence, the Colonnade, the Sphinx, and the Temple of Jupiter. The palace was built in 295 BC by Roman Emperor Tiocletian to stay after retirement. Right in front of it is a plaza of 35 m long and 13 m long with round columns. At the entrance to the cathedral is a 60-meter bell tower, with picturesque views of the beautiful Old Town of Sprite and the emerald Adriatic Sea standing on the tower. Originally renovated, the cathedral of Emperor Diocletian is adorned with beautiful sculptures and torch. It is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most preserved and majestic of the Roman ruins spread throughout Europe.
Outside the north of the palace of the retired Emperor, Diocletian is a large, black and grotesque statue. Statue of religious leader Gregory Nin of Croatia. Once you leave the palace and go through the Golden Gate, the north gate, you'll see a statue. You can also find the story of a wish come true if you touch it somewhere. Just touch the big toe of the statue. Once you touch your big toe, which is full of tourists' hands, you will feel happy for the rest of your life. Nin, the hero of the statue, argued that the people of Croatia should have been able to see worship in Croatian words.
When I was very young, I used to draw an imaginary village with colored pencils on the back of a calendar. A coastal town with an endless blue sea, homes with red roofs are tightly packed together, and a cozy city area surrounded by huge walls. One side is a port where ships can enter and there are all kinds of amenities inside the castle. Dubrovnik, nicknamed 'Pearl of the Adriatic Sea', resembles that of an imagined village. Unrealistically, he set the stage for King's Landing, a fictional city where the king lives in the famous American TV series Game of Thrones.
A massive castle, two kilometers long and up to 25 meters high, completely surrounds Dubrovnik's old town. People walk on this and experience the fantastic view of the adriatic sea and the medieval city of the Adriatic Sea. The village overlooking the castle is not a stuffed ruins or tourist attraction. Everyday place where people live, Medieval village was taken by time machine. Irish literary student Bernard Shaw described it as a `` ground paradise, '' and Dubrovnik is one of Europe's top resort destinations. The entire city is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its perfectly preserved medieval look.
Dubrovnik's tourist attraction, Sponza Palace, is located at the edge of Stradun Street in the old town and is a beautiful palace that shows Dubrovnik in the past. It is also a place where tourists can't stop because of the earthquake and war in the past. Every year, the opening ceremony of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival is held here at the Sponsor Palace, and the main hall is now used as an art museum.
The Onofrio's Fountain at Dubrovnik's entrance to the Old Town was founded in 1448 by Onofrio de la Cava. The center of the fountain has a large rounded roof underneath it, which is hexagonal underneath it. The water in the fountain draws water from a well in Rijeka Dubrovska, about 20 kilometers away, and was attracted a lot of attention by developing a waterway that showed groundbreaking and innovative technology at the time. to be.

15 Things to do in Split, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Grad Split Hrvatska):
It is no secret that Croatia is one of our favourite countries to travel in Europe, and Split is a destination that can’t be missed.
Set in and around the walls of an ancient Roman palace looking out to the Adriatic Sea, Split is what travel dreams are made of: sunny, scenic, and filled with historic sights and culinary delights.
The streets are marble maze where pieces of history lay hidden around every corner, the harbour is lined with cafes and palm trees drawing out locals and visitors to promenade in the sunshine, and let’s not forget about the abundance of restaurants serving up fresh seafood and Croatian dishes with a contemporary twist!
Join us in this travel guide as we take you on a tour of the city and show you 15 things to do in Split, Croatia!
Diocletian was a Roman Emperor who ruled from the years 284 to 305. He was born in Dalmatia, and when it came time to build his retirement residence, he chose this very spot which today forms the Old Town of Split.
It made sense to start our tour of Split here. First, the bell tower for a quick look at the city from above. Next to the bell tower, you have the Mausoleum of Diocletian. Emperor Diocletian was a persecutor of Christians, and ironically, his mausoleum is now a cathedral named after Saint Domnius, who was martyred by Diocletian.
We walked over to the Temple of Jupiter. Interesting fact: the sphinx you see at the entrance was one of the twelve sphinxes brought from Egypt by Emperor Diocletian.
The crypt sits directly underneath the cathedral and it’s dedicated to Saint Lucy, another victim of the religious persecutions under the rule of Diocletian.
We walked through the underground market which is open to the public free of charge. This market is also located at basement level and it is filled with vendors selling all types of artwork and souvenirs. We also walked up the Marjan Steps for scenic views of Split.
Marjan Hill is 178 meters high and it takes 314 steps to reach the highest point. It’s a very pleasant walk with lots of greenery, and along the way we even came across an old stone church.
Then on the way back down the hill, we went for a walk through Varoš.
And while we were in Split, we also made time to visit a statue with a rather famous toe. This is Grgur Ninski. He was a medieval Croatian bishop who introduced the national language in the religious services.
Now a travel tip: while you’re out strolling down the Rive Promenade, you can also access Matejuška Port, which is a small harbour for small boats used mainly by the local fishermen. This particular spot offers some really nice views looking back on Split.
That’s a wrap for our travel guide to Split! If you have ideas of things to do in Split please share those in the comments below.
