Balkan mountains and the mediterranean sea, Croatia offers a plethora of attractions and points of interest. Some most <strong>famous landmarks in Croatia<\/strong> are natural landmarks like Plitvice waterfalls and Zlatni Rat beach. Still, there are quite a few important historic landmarks in Croatia, too, like the walls of Dubrovnik and the Pula amphitheater.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we will explore both natural and human-made <strong>landmarks in Croatia,<\/strong> making it a very diverse country. Therefore, we invited a few fellow bloggers to contribute with some of their favorite Croatian landmarks to produce the best information possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Landmarks_in_Croatia_%E2%80%93_Human-made\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Landmarks_in_Croatia_-_Human-made\"><\/span>Famous Landmarks in Croatia \u2013 Human-made<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Walls_of_Dubrovnik\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Walls_of_Dubrovnik\"><\/span>The Walls of Dubrovnik<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Coni from Experiencing the Globe<\/p>\n<p>If you have one mental image of Croatia is probably the City Walls of Dubrovnik. This medieval fortress has been the country\u2019s main attraction for decades, but when it was cast as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> of Throne\u2019s King\u2019s Landing, the popularity went to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p>The formidable\u00a0<strong>ring of defensive walls encloses the historical city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>. They were built in the 9<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century and fortified in the 14<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>and 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries.<\/p>\n<p>You can walk on top of them, for 2 km, and get the most stunning views of the walls themselves and the city and the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n<p>It might get a bit overwhelming to visit with the hordes of tourists that arrive every summer. Hence, a much more enjoyable and\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/experiencingtheglobe.com\/dubrovnik-travel-guide-places-to-visit-and-how-to-be-sustainable\/\">sustainable way to visit Dubrovnik<\/a>\u00a0is to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> during shoulder season, ideally in May-June or September-October.<\/p>\n<p>You can fly directly to Dubrovnik\u2019s airport, take a ferry from Split or its nearby islands, or take a bus from any city in the country. Note that you\u2019ll need to cross a small strip of Bosnia and Herzegovina if you arrive overland. You won\u2019t need a visa since you\u2019re just transiting, but keep your passport at hand!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1320,h_600\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for.jpg\" alt=\"Famous Landmarks In Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-18782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1320\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for-768x349.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 1 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1320,h_600\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for.jpg\" alt=\"Famous Landmarks In Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-18782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1320\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/What-is-croatia-famous-for-768x349.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 1 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>The Walls of Dubrovnik \u2013 the most famous landmark in Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Primosten\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Primosten\"><\/span>Primosten<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Noel Morata from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/oahutravelnow.com\/\">Oahu Travel Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the off-the-beaten places to visit on the Dalmatian coastline in Croatia is Primosten which has a sleepy vibe and non-touristy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal. A narrow peninsula that almost juts out like an island and is barely connected to the mainland by a narrow roadway, Primosten is low-key, charming, and truly off the beaten path since it is located mid-way between Split and Zadar on the scenic coastal road in Dalmatia.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fun to explore the small town and walk up to the top of the hill for fantastic views of the town and the ocean below. While you are exploring, check out the dominant church of St. George, built in 1485. If you\u2019re into beaches, check out the beautiful beaches below, which are always noted as some of the 10 best beaches to enjoy in Croatia. Even the vineyards that face Primosten are famous and are planned on being certified as a Unesco Heritage site. But one of the simple joys of being in Primosten is walking along the waterfront areas, checking out the lovely restaurants and having a delicious seafood meal for hours, and enjoying a nice and long meal on the beautiful peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>Less than an hour drive from busy Split, a drive along the coastal highway to Primosten and the joys of a road trip, fantastic meal, and exploring the town is a fun and easy thing to do as a day trip to the town.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"famous landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-21961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 2 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"famous landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Primosten-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 2 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>City of Primosten \u2013 Famous landmarks of Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sea_organ_of_Zadar\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sea_organ_of_Zadar\"><\/span>Sea organ of Zadar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Michelle C. from Intentional Travelers<\/p>\n<p>Zadar, centrally located on the Dalmatian Coast and north of Split, has several unique landmarks. However, Zadar\u2019s sea organ is perhaps the most recent addition and the most unique of all.<br \/>Located on the edge of historic Old Town, which sits on a small peninsula, the sea organ was added in 2005 to replace a boring concrete wall. Using the waves that lap up against the land,\u00a0architect Nikola Ba\u0161i\u0107 designed marble steps with tubes inside to create a giant instrument played by the sea!<\/p>\n<p>The experimental instrument is referred to as an \u201carchitectural sound art object\u201d and was awarded a European Prize for Urban Public Space in 2006. Next to this landmark is another popular modern marvel, the Greeting to the Sun light installation.<\/p>\n<p>Tourists and locals come to hear the low bellows of the organ, as it\u2019s a very short walk from other attractions in Old Town. The steps make a great spot to watch the sunset and passing sailboats, with views of the sea and Ugljan island. Visiting in the summer brings the most crowds, but people still\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/intentionaltravelers.com\/travel-packing-list-for-europe-in-fall-winter\/\">bundle up for Fall or even Winter trips<\/a>\u00a0to see this one-of-a-kind attraction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000,h_638\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26.jpg\" alt=\"Croatia's famous landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-6613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-520x332.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 3 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000,h_638\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26.jpg\" alt=\"Croatia's famous landmarks\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-520x332.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 3 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Ocean organ famous landmark in Zadar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_James_Cathedral_in_Croatias_Sibenik\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_James_Cathedral_in_Croatias_Sibenik\"><\/span>St. James Cathedral in Croatia\u2019s \u0160ibenik<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Veronika Primm from Travel Geekery<\/p>\n<p>The St. James Cathedral in\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelgeekery.com\/sibenik-croatia-sightseeing-adventure\/\">Croatia\u2019s\u00a0\u0160ibenik<\/a>\u00a0belongs to the grandest\u00a0structures you can see in Europe. That\u2019s only one of many reasons why it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Katedrala Svetog Jakova, as it\u2019s known locally, is a real landmark in the city. While you can see it peek in between buildings almost anywhere, the best view comes from any of Sibenik\u2019s three hillside fortresses.<\/p>\n<p>The Cathedral was mostly built in Renaissance style by George the Dalmatian, a local star architect who received his education in Venice. Croatia formed a part of Venice back in the 15th\u00a0century, and it shows in the Cathedral\u2019s grandeur.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Gothic features were added. Inside especially, the Cathedral has more of a Gothic feel, aided by humidity, which keeps the walls dark.<\/p>\n<p>There are several unique features in the Cathedral. The most notable is that no cement or connecting material was used in its building! Even the large Dome was created with the pure use of interlocking stone slabs. Only during the reconstruction after the Yugoslav war (1991) some cement had to be added.<\/p>\n<p>Decorative elements include a strip of 74 heads running along the Cathedral\u2019s perimeter.

It is located on\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.placesofjuma.com\/things-to-do-in-hvar-croatia\/\">Hvar Island<\/a>\u00a0in Dalmatia, and a climb up the fortress hill is almost a must on every trip. Even the way there, through the old town and past the beautiful gardens, is a real highlight! Once you reach the top, the most spectacular view over the orange roofs of the old town and the deep blue sea awaits you. Even the famous Pakleni Islands can be seen from up here, making the fortress a popular spot for taking photos.<\/p>\n<p>Locals usually call the Fortica fortress \u0160panjola, meaning the Spanish fortress. It was built between 1282 and 1551, during Venetian rule, and served as the city\u2019s most important defensive structure at the time. Thus, during the Turkish attack in 1571, almost all of Hvar\u2019s inhabitants found shelter in this fortress. Unfortunately, in 1579 lightning struck the part of the complex exactly where the gunpowder was. This caused a large explosion, and constant repair work followed until the 19th century.<\/p>\n<p>Today it is one of the most important attractions on the island and can also be visited from the inside. There is also a museum, a restaurant and even a discotheque at the fortress.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_834,h_555\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Cool landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-21973\" width=\"834\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 834px) 100vw, 834px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 5 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_834,h_555\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Cool landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21973\" width=\"834\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fortica-Fortress-Hvar-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 834px) 100vw, 834px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 5 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Fortica Fortress famous landmark in Hvar Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_Marks_Church_in_Zagreb\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_Marks_Church_in_Zagreb\"><\/span>St. Mark\u2019s Church in Zagreb<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Emily from Wander-Lush<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to recognizable <strong>landmarks in the Croatian<\/strong> capital of Zagreb, it\u2019s hard to top St. Mark\u2019s Church (<em>Crkva sv. Marka<\/em>). The most distinguishing feature of this humble parish church is its unique roof that bears a twin coat of arms rendered in vibrant tiles.<\/p>\n<p>One of the oldest structures in the city, St. Mark\u2019s, was first built in the 13th century then reconstructed in a Gothic style in the 14th century. The portal on the building\u2019s southern face is considered its most historically important component: 11 niches bearing statues of the Twelve Apostles and St. Mark and the Lion are carved above the door, making this one of the most distinguished doorways of its kind in\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wander-lush.org\/balkans-travel-guide\/\">the Balkan region<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the roof is the thing that draws your eye. The vibrant tiles reveal the old crests for the city of Zagreb and the Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia (a political entity within the Austro-Hungarian Empire). Designed by Viennese architect Friedrich Schmidt, they resemble Zsolnay tiles found throughout Budapest.<\/p>\n<p>St. Mark\u2019s is located in the historic Upper Town in a square of the same name. It\u2019s easy to reach by foot from anywhere in the city. Although not a UNESCO Site, it\u2019s an icon of Zagreb and a must-visit.<\/p>\n<p>For the best views of the church, climb to the top of the nearby Lotr\u0161\u010dak Tower. The observation deck looks directly onto the roof, giving you a picture-perfect view of the tiles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Top Croatia landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-21976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_853\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 6 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Top Croatia landmarks\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_853\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Emily-Lush-St-Marks-Zagreb-Croatia-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 6 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>St. Mark\u2019s Church famous landmark in Zagreb, Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zagreb_Funicular\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zagreb_Funicular\"><\/span>Zagreb\u00a0Funicular<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Kamila Napora from My wanderlust<\/p>\n<p>One of the quirkiest\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mywanderlust.pl\/things-to-do-in-zagreb-croatia\/\">things to do in Zagreb<\/a>, the capital of Croatia, is riding the local funicular.

It is also the oldest mode of public transport in the city. The funicular started operating in 1890, and originally a steam engine was used for it, but due to the frequent repairs, it was replaced by the electrical one in 1934. Still, today most of the technical and constructional parts are original, and the funicular didn\u2019t change its look for all these years.<\/p>\n<p>Recently Zagreb funicular was listed among the most beautiful funiculars in the world by European Best Destinations. Even if the ride takes only a few minutes, it is definitely one of the ultimate Zagreb experiences you can\u2019t miss. The funicular operates daily 06:30 and 22:00 and departs every 10 minutes. One-way ticket costs 4 kunas, but the public transport tickets are valid here too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Croatia landmarks in Zagreb\" class=\"wp-image-21982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 7 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Croatia landmarks in Zagreb\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zagreb-Funicular-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 7 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>The Zagreb Funicular is one of the most famous landmarks in Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nin\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nin\"><\/span>Nin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Raluca from Travel With a Spin<\/p>\n<p>Nin is a tiny town located in a lagoon just 20 km away from Zadar. Once you cross one of the two stone bridges that connect the historic town to the mainland, you enter Kalelarga, the main street, and feel like walking back in time.

It\u2019s said that seven kings were crowned here. But it was also the seat of the Croatian bishops. The most famous of them is Bishop Gregory of Nin, whose statue welcomes visitors and has become one of the town\u2019s symbols. He was the one that opposed the Pope and introduced the Slavic language in the church. People believe that any wish will come true if you touch the well-polished toe of his statue.<\/p>\n<p>The old town of Nin is also home to some interesting places of worship. The \u201csmallest cathedral in the world\u201d is located in Nin. Its builders made sure that it will be filled with light at each solstice and equinox. Close to it, one can visit the largest Roman temple on the Adriatic coast, a 2nd-century Roman mosaic, and a traditional salt factory. Finally, one shouldn\u2019t leave before tasting the local delicacy, Ninski Sokol, local dry-cured pork meat produced in the region since ancient times.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_576\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Manmade landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-21996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 8 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_576\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Manmade landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/City-of-Nin-Zagreb-Croatia-150x84.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 8 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Town of Nin, famous landmark of Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pula_Arena\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pula_Arena\"><\/span>Pula Arena<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Samantha from The Wandering Wanderluster<\/p>\n<p>When you think of Roman colosseums, your mind will im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely think of Rome\u2019s grand monument, one of the seven modern wonders of the world.

However, every week during the summer months, the Arena hosts gladiator fights as part of the historical spectacle \u201cSpectacvla Antiqva\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000,h_635\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-6598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1-520x330.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 9 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000,h_635\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-19-1-520x330.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 9 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Pula Arena famous landmark in Pula, Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rovinj_Old_Town\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rovinj_Old_Town\"><\/span>Rovinj Old Town<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Yulia Saf from Miss tourist<\/p>\n<p>Rovinj is often called Croatia\u2019s Venice and it\u2019s easy to see why it can be hard not to fall in love with this incredibly photogenic town. The easiest way to get to Rovinj is by flying to Pula Airport, just a 40 minute drive away from this charming old town. In season there are direct flights here from London but from other destinations as well as in other seasons, the closest international airport is actually Venice, Italy. Venice is just a 3 hour drive from Rovinj and in season it is also connected by a ferry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since it is so close to Italy, Rovinj is officially bilingual, and many residents speak both Croatian and Italian! You can almost feel the impact of the romance language on this town as you walk through the winding cobbled streets. If the walls could talk, it would definitely be in a seductive italian accent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the first evidence of life in Rovinj can be traced back to the bronze age, this medieval town started being developed in the 3rd century. Due to the lack of available space, everything in Old Town Rovinj was built on a miniature scale. The tiny colorful buildings, picturesque squares, and narrow streets built right up to the shoreline alone are a sight to see. Still, the main reason that people flock to visit this adorable spot is to see the unique Venetian Architecture in a very Croatian town that hasn\u2019t given up its authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>There are also many <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/misstourist.com\/where-to-stay-in-rovinj-croatia-the-best-hotels\/\">great hotels in Rovinj for every budget<\/a>, and with much fewer tourists than Venice, it is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. Although the beautiful old town of Rovinj is not yet a UNESCO-listed sight, maybe it should be!\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_681\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"croatian landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-21999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 10 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_681\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"croatian landmarks\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rovinj-Old-Town-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 10 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Rovinj Old Town one of Croatias Landmarks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cavtat_harbour\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cavtat_harbour\"><\/span>Cavtat harbour<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Helen from Helen on her Holidays<\/p>\n<p>Right at the southern tip of Croatia, between Dubrovnik and the border with Montenegro, you\u2019ll find Cavtat.

It\u2019s a beautiful spot; looking out of the harbor you\u2019re looking straight towards Dubrovnik. The sun sets directly between the two peninsulas, and after it goes down you can see the lights of Dubrovnik glittering in the distance.<\/p>\n<p>Cavtat has a lovely promenade that runs behind the harbor and makes a lovely stroll at any time of day but particularly in the evening as the sun sets, the superyachts turn their lights on, and everyone is ready for a cocktail or two at one of the many harbourside bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>During the day, the peninsulas guard the harbor are home to some of Cavtat\u2019s loveliest spots for sunbathing. A trail runs around the edge of the peninsula through the pine trees; little paths lead down to little beach clubs where you can relax in the sun and watch the boats coming in and out of the harbor.<\/p>\n<p>To get to Cavtat, you can take a bus from Dubrovnik, but the best way to arrive is by water taxi into the lovely harbor.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_676\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"iconic landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-22002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 11 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_676\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"iconic landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-22002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cavtat-harbour-Croatia-150x99.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 11 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Cavtat harbour lamark of Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Euphrasian_Basilica\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Euphrasian_Basilica\"><\/span>The Euphrasian Basilica<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Lara from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebesttravelgifts.com\/\">The Best Travel Gifts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Euphrasian Basilica is a beautiful cathedral located in the small town of Porec in Istria. Its importance and beauty have also been recognized by UNESCO who included the basilica on the World Heritage list back in 1997.<\/p>\n<p>The original cathedral was built in the Roman style and dates back to the fourth century. However, the only part that remains from this period is the mosaic floor which can still be admired in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>The cathedral as you can admire today was built in the sixth century. As the cathedral was built during the period of Bishop Euphrasius, it was named the Euprhasian Basilica. The basilica was dedicated to Mary, hence the cathedral\u2019s second name: Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of Mary.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the completeness and unique features of the early Christian episcopal monument, which made the Euphrasian Basilica earn its place on the world heritage list. Yet, it\u2019s the beauty and the history of the building that make it an interesting site to visit today.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to access the church is to head to Porec and explore the old city center on foot. It\u2019s a small town, and you will find the cathedral right in the city center. The church is open for visitors every day except Sundays and holidays.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_792\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica.jpg\" alt=\"Beautifull landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-22005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica-150x116.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 12 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_792\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica.jpg\" alt=\"Beautifull landmarks in Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-22005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/landmarks-of-croatia-euphrasia-basilica-150x116.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 12 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>The Euphrasian Basilica famous landmark of Istria in Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diocletians_palace\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diocletians_palace\"><\/span>Diocletian\u2019s palace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Mayuri from<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.2dayitinerary.com\/\"> 2 day Itinerary<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">Diocletian\u2019s palace is located in Split in the Dalmatia Region.

The Emperor\u2019s apartments is located along the seafront, with an exterior square and circular floor plan, with a dome.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just like most palaces, there are remains of cellars, a dome hall, two halls with apses, and an octagonal dining room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diocletian\u2019s Palace is the largest and best-preserved example of Roman palatial architecture, representing a transitional style half Greek and half Byzantine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is completely free to check out Diocletian\u2019s palace. When you are at the Split downtown, you will see the Palace gates following you around.

The Lower Lakes is the most visited section of the park and the paths get very busy during peak season so try to visit first thing in the morning or late afternoon after the hordes of tourist buses have departed.<\/p>\n<p>Unfenced wooden boardwalks wind around the picturesque lakes culminating in Veliki Slap, which, at 78 meters high, is Croatia\u2019s highest waterfall. The Upper Lakes section is less visited and offers tranquil woodland walks, lakeside trails, and several waterfalls. There are 22 kilometers of trail inside the park so there are walks available to suit everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The two sections are linked by a road train, or visitors can traverse the park using the more scenic passenger boat crossing on Lake Kozjak. The park can be reached by public bus or by tour bus from Split but is best reached by self-driving.

And on this islet is a former Benedictine monastery.<\/p>\n<p>The monastery was originally built in the 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, making it amongst the oldest in the Adriatic, though the plot has been added to over the centuries. These days there is a restaurant on the island called Melita.<\/p>\n<p>You can get to the lakes and the island via the town of Pomena on Mljet. There\u2019s an entrance fee of 125 Kuna to get into the park, and you can take a footpath around the first lake, Malo Jezero, where the water is a gorgeous bright turquoise color. The two lakes join in a narrow channel at Mali Most, where you can get a boat that will take you to Sveta Marija. The boat takes around 25 minutes, and the scenery on Veliko Jezero is calm and peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>On the island, other than getting refreshments in the restaurant, you can wander the grounds of the monastery and enjoy the views across the crystal-clear water of the lake.

Tucked between the Dalmatian islands of Krknjasi and Veliki, the unbelievably blue and clear waters of the Blue Lagoon is a place travelers can\u2019t get enough of!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The main reason to visit the Blue Lagoon is to swim and snorkel in the cool water, sunbathe on the nearby island of Veli Drvenik, and snap photos. Since the Blue Lagoon is quite a distance from populated islands and far from the mainland, getting there independently can be expensive and difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, the easiest and most popular way to get there is on a boat tour from Split. The Blue Lagoon is on the itinerary of both the 3 island and 5 tours, so it\u2019s a top-rated stop. If you are confident about steering a boat, you could hire one and visit by yourself.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a boat tour, look out for ones that have a speedboat. It will get you to the Blue Lagoon much quicker, and will also act as the ideal springboard for you to use to jump into the water from once you\u2019ve arrived at the lagoon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_694\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Top natural landmark in Croti\" class=\"wp-image-21985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia-150x102.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 16 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_694\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Top natural landmark in Croti\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blue-Lagoon-Croatia-150x102.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 16 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Blue Lagoon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Blue_Grotto\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Blue_Grotto\"><\/span>The Blue Grotto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Balun, on the eastern side of the island of Bi\u0161evo in Dalmatia, you\u2019ll find the Blue Grotto or Modra \u0161pilja. The cave is a narrow opening between the rocks which originally could only be accessed by diving under the rock wall in a certain spot. In the late 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Century, dynamite was used to create a small opening in the rock. This new entrance allows small boats to pass between the rocks, making the wonders of the cave accessible to many more people.<\/p>\n<p>To see the magic of the cave, be sure to visit just before noon on a sunny day. At this time, the cave is illuminated with a blue light, caused by sunlight reflecting through the water from the limestone floor of the cave. Seeing the blue light fill the cave is a slightly unearthly experience and one of the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.farawayworlds.com\/stories\/nine-highlights-from-croatia\">highlights of coastal Croatia<\/a>.\u00a0You need to join a tour to visit the cave as private boats aren\u2019t allowed.

Zlatni rat which means \u2018a golden horn\u2019 is a triangular-shaped beach around 3 Km from Bol town. The beach is beautiful with white sands and pebbles and a Mediterranean pine grove slowly transitioning into the Adriatic sea. The peculiar V shape of the beach has made it so popular that it has become a national tourism symbol of Croatia. One can easily see the shape of the beach from the road that descends to Bol.<\/p>\n<p>The V-shaped beach is subjected to strong currents from the Hvar channel which makes it perfect for many activities like swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, Wakeboarding, Jet Skiing, and Sea kayaking. The beach has many caf\u00e9s, resorts, eating points, sunbeds, toilets(paid), and many other amenities.<\/p>\n<p>It is around 2.4 Km from Bol, and one chose to walk or commute by car. A tourist boat and train also depart from Bol port which can take you there. Some prominent accommodation would be Villa Giardino Heritage(2 Km from the beach), Bluesun Hotel Borak (1.1 Km from the beach), and BRETANIDE Sport &amp; Wellness Resort(0.4Km from the beach). It is also known as the beach that changes shape. Because of strong wind and sea currents, the V shape keeps changing its shape slightly, mostly tilting towards the east.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"natural landmarks Croatia - \" class=\"wp-image-21993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 18 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"natural landmarks Croatia - \" class=\"lazyload wp-image-21993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zlatni-rat-Beach-Croatia-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 18 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Zlatni\u00a0rat\u00a0Beach Croatia\u2019s famous landmarks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Krka_Waterfalls\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Krka_Waterfalls\"><\/span>Krka Waterfalls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Tracy from Tracy\u2019s Travels in Time<\/p>\n<p>The Krka waterfalls are located in Krka National Park in southern Croatia a few kilometers northeast of the historic Croatian city of Sibenik.

Otherwise, there are local buses available from the Lozovac entrance to the falls.<\/p>\n<p>If you visit in summer, don\u2019t forget to wear a swimming costume and take a towel with you as Krka Waterfalls is the only national park in Croatia where swimming is allowed. The waters at the base of the falls are crystal clear, but you will need to protect your feet with water shoes.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to swim, don\u2019t worry, as you can view the falls from various platforms along the boardwalk. The waterfalls are surrounded by natural beautiful landscapes, lush vegetation, and wildlife.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000,h_750\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg\" alt=\"Famous natural landamarks\" class=\"wp-image-6610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 19 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000,h_750\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg\" alt=\"Famous natural landamarks\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_1000\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 19 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><figcaption>Famous landsmarks in Croatia \u2013 Krka waterfalls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Pin in for later<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_519,h_779\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks of Croatia\" class=\"wp-image-22035\" width=\"519\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_600\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_200\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 20 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_519,h_779\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks of Croatia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-22035\" width=\"519\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_600\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_200\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Croatia-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" title=\"20 Famous Landmarks in Croatia 20 Famous Landmarks In Croatia\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text \">Sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
