Dubrovnik
Decidedly indestructible Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic.
With a Mediterranean climate and its location in the beautiful blue crystal waters of the Adriatic Sea just along the Med’s northern coast, the more you hear about the city of Split, the harder it is to resist!.
With so much to offer, it is not difficult to see why Croatia is increasing in popularity as a holiday destination. Aside from its gorgeous beaches and Mediterranean climate, Croatia offers several locations which have been UNESCO designated World Heritage Sites. A number of these are mentioned below.
The Cathedral of St James dates back to the turn of the fifteenth century and has been on the World Heritage list since the year 2000. Situated in Sibenik and built by local and Venetian craftsmen, the Catholic Church is famed for its Gothic architecture and the human heads upon its external walls.
Another local World Heritage site is that of the Euphrasian Basilica. Built in the sixth century AD, the building is considered to be the finest existing example of Byzantine Art in the area.
The Old City and popular tourist resort, Dubrovnik, is another UNESCO site. Renown for its generous offerings of contributors to the language and literature of Croatia, Dubrovnik is recognised as Croatia’s cultural centre.
A UNESCO World Heritage site with a more natural element to it is that of the Plitvice Lakes, one of Croatia’s biggest tourist attractions. Packed with stunning waterfalls, it is consists of no less than twenty lakes that vary in their tones from beautiful turquoise to grey. The Plitvice is a highly forested environment and is the habitat to many types of flora and fauna. The fauna you should hope to encounter here include the wild cat, the brown bear, the wolf and the Capercaillie (as featured by David Attenborough on his memorable BBC programme). A popular tourist attraction since the nineteenth century, the lakes attracted unwanted interest during the Croatian War of Independence. Shortly after this UNESCO defined the park a World heritage Site in Danger due to the occurrence of landmines. It was only in 1998, that the park became declared a mine-free zone.
Split and its 3rd century Diocletian’s Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city of Split came into being as a result of the presence of the palace and continues to be valued as one of Croatia’s popular attractions.
