Dalmatian Hidden Gems

Beyond the coastal crowds of Dalmatia lies a network of historical defenses and ancient settlements. This collection features the 14th-century Nečven and Prozor fortresses, the pre-Romanesque Church of Holy Salvation near the Cetina River’s source, and the Roman maritime ruins of Colentum. It also includes the Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant, one of the oldest in the world, and high-altitude shelters like Bivak Dinaridi on the slopes of Mount Dinara.
