Few settlements in Split-Dalmatia County have a history as closely tied to the 1962 Makarska earthquake as Podgora. Set between the Adriatic Sea and the steep slopes of Biokovo, it forms part of the Makarska Riviera, where a narrow coastal strip meets rugged limestone mountains. The quake severely damaged the older settlement, and much of present-day Podgora developed along the shore afterwards. Above the harbour stands Galebova krila, a monument commemorating the formation of the Yugoslav Partisan Navy here in 1942.
