Dalmatia

Ask any image-conscious Croatian, and you'll probably be told that the most beautiful of the over 1000 Croatian Islands is Hvar. Indeed, exploring Hvar was the highlight of our sailing adventures on the Dalmatian Coast. We anchored in Stari Grad, the oldest town in Croatia. Despite its central location at the heart of the Adriatic coast's trading routes, there was no permanent settlement here before 385BC, when the Parans, of Ionian Greek origin, established the colony of Pharos, and subsequently, Croatians settled here. The town became known as StariGrad, a singularly appropriate name meaning old town. From here, we took a local bus to Hvar town, considered the most striking of Hvar island's...

According to the group of researchers from the USA, Italy, Croatia and Great Britain, a new ridge of islands may appear in the Adriatic Sea, near the shore of Croatia, in the nearest future. Geologists say that although Croatia and the Adriatic Sea are very popular tourist routes today, the beauty of local nature may soon include one more place of interest - the youngest islands on the planet. Islands are formed due to slow but continuous tectonic movements. Moreover, these movements are slowly shortening the distance between Croatia and Italy. According to Richard Bennett, an American geologist from the Arizona University, today Croatia includes 1 185 Dalmatia Islands, famous as picturesque tourist...

"body"> Historical Complex of Split with the Palace of Diocletian (Inscribed 1979) Split literally grew out of the palace that the Roman Emperor Diocletian (245-312), a native of the nearby city of Salona, built as what may have been history's first retirement home. Much of the original structure still remains - both in the form of the original walls and the various buildings constructed out of stone pilfered from it in Split's Old Town, which the walls encompass.

Its bell-tower offers wonderful views both over the Old Town and the Adriatic...

When Romulus Augustus was appointed emperor of the western Roman Empire he was still just a child and things were not looking good for Rome. By some considered to be the last true western emperor of Rome, sources show that he was emperor for only 10 months and, due to his tender age, was a mere puppet of his father the patrician Orestes after he had led a coup against former ruler Julius Nepos. The tumultuous and short history of Augustus is well known but little is to be found in the first hand sources of the time causing quite a range of speculation and possible fantastical story conjuring. By the year 475AD, the Roman Empire had shrunk to encompass only Italy and areas of southern Gaul and...

Nobody can mistake a Dalmatian for any other breed because of their white coats with black spots. They look like polka dot calls! They're named Dalmatians because they come from the region of Dalmatia, in Croatia. Their history was as war dogs, guarding the region's borders. Because of this background, they are still good guarding dogs and will protect members of their human family. The reason Dalmatians are associated with firefighters goes way back to the days when fire engines weren't motorized; they were drawn by horses. Dalmatians were a breed of dog that got along particularly well with horses, so they were trained to run ahead of the fire carriage to clear a path and guide the firefighters to...

The breed was named after Dalmatia, a place in Western Yugoslavia on the Adriatic sea, which at one time was part of Austria.
