Gornje Igrane: Plaza Podgora
Podgora has served as a coastal settlement on Croatia’s Makarska Riviera since at least the 16th century. It extends between the Adriatic Sea and the steep foothills of the Biokovo range, south of Makarska. Podgora Beach forms part of a waterfront of bathing areas, a promenade, cafés and accommodation, while the older settlement occupies ground higher on the mountainside. The town’s Second World War memorial, Galebova krila (Seagull Wings), was unveiled in 1962. Podgora belongs to a Dalmatian coast where small harbours, seafront walks and summer tourism shape everyday life, with neighbouring Riviera communities linked along the shore.

The landscape around Gornje Igrane is steep and Mediterranean, rising from the Adriatic shore toward Biokovo and shaping both the scattered settlement pattern and an olive-growing economy. This upper part of Igrane lies above the Makarska Riviera, where limestone mountain slopes meet a narrow coastal strip. Stone houses and terraced plots reflect generations of living on the hillside, while the Church of St Michael and its stone bell tower mark Igrane’s older core. Below, the coastal settlement meets the Adriatic through its beaches and harbour, with the islands of Brač and Hvar part of the wider seascape.

Built around the Adriatic coast, island ports and routes linking the hinterland to the sea, Split-Dalmatia County grew into Croatia’s central Dalmatian region. Its territory extends from the Cetina River and the Biokovo range to the islands of Brač, Hvar, Šolta and Vis. At its urban heart, Split is defined by Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman imperial complex whose historic core is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Makarska Riviera, old fishing settlements and vineyards lend the county a strongly maritime Mediterranean character. Brač, where these coordinates lie, is known for its pale limestone.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
