Makarska: Riviera
Tucked between the lower slopes of Biokovo and the Adriatic Sea, Veliko Brdo is a place whose character is shaped by the steep descent from mountain foothills to the Makarska coast. Set above the town, the settlement belongs to the administrative area of Makarska, where neighbourhoods extend along a narrow coastal strip between limestone slopes and the sea. This shore is part of the Makarska Riviera, with the town’s harbour and waterfront forming its civic centre. Makarska’s Franciscan monastery, which houses the Malacological Museum and its shell collection, adds a cultural landmark to the coast. Veliko Brdo expresses the close relationship here between hillside housing, wooded cover and the open Adriatic.

Makarska combines a lively waterfront with the abrupt limestone slopes of Biokovo in a way that reflects its position between the Adriatic Sea and the Biokovo mountain range. The town is the focal point of the Makarska Riviera, a stretch of central Dalmatian coast where settlements occupy a narrow band between sea and mountain. Palm-lined promenades, the harbour and the pebbled town beach shape daily life, while the forested Sveti Petar Peninsula projects beside the port. In the old centre, the 18th-century St Mark's Cathedral faces Kačić Square; nearby, the Franciscan monastery houses the Malacological Museum and its shell collection.

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.
