It's hard to believe that I have lived here for 8 years! They have gone by so quickly and I have had the privilege to see much of the country. There are parts I've yet to see, but here is a small glimpse into Croatia.
And I do mean small. I chose just a few of the cities I've visited to give you an idea of the lovely nature and rich history of Croatia. This is very much a bird's-eye view.
After which I'm sure you'll call your travel agent and book next year's vacation to see Croatia's lovely Adriatic coast, right?
At the fortress in Knin
Opatija
Zadar
St. Donat's Church in the Roman Forum
Altars used for blood sacrifices before the time of Christ - located on the Roman Forum
An indent on the floor of the Roman Forum where the blood would flow from the sacrifices
"Pillar of Shame" or a flogging post from the Roman Era
Trogir
Trogir is one of my most favorite locations. The history is so well preserved
I had to throw this one in!
Kamerlengo Castle from the 15th Century
Split
Diocletian built a huge palace in Split in preparation for his retirement in 305 A.D.

Thanks Rosalind! I found you at Womanhood with Purpose-- so glad to be here in Croatia!
Love your pictures! Thanks for sharing some of the country with us!
Wonderful pictures. Please forgive me, I'm geographically challenged in a big way ... but I didn't realize Croatia was so filled with Christian history as in altars for sacrifice. How awesome is that!!??
I left my heart in Italy this spring, and your photos make my yearning to go back even stronger. I know that God has a purpose for why my family's currently still working here in the tropics, and I am content, but oh what joy I'll have when He calls us back to Italy. Your pictures are great. I think you've really opened up our eyes to what Croatia looks like, as I doubt I'm the only one who's never visited.
How lovely--and so much history! I'd love to visit someday.
If you do, look me up and we'll go to coffee!!
Oh, I hear you!!! Italy and Croatia are neighbors. :)
Not a problem. Yes - Croatia was part of the Roman Empire - there is rumor that Paul traveled here during his missionary journeys.
You are very welcome. :)
I am so glad you stopped by!!
Beautiful!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures. I would love to visit!
Wow! Thanks for the tour! What a delight!
Does that part of the country stay warm all year around?
Aw man that would be SO awesome. I told my husband recently that you totally seem like someone I could get along with! And we love our coffee...; )
I have never been to your beautiful country but many people from my home country Sweden like to go to Croatia.
I wish to see it one day. I met many people from your country back home when I lived in Europe.
:) Ahhhh - I know we'd find TON of stuff to chat about - for hours and hours. You'll definitely have to make a trip over.
Thank you for stopping by! I am glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful weekend!
Unfortunately it doesn't. Right now it's pretty chilly. It gets below freezing winter and we always get snow. Maybe I'll do some snow pictures this winter, too. :)
Oh yes - I see a lot of license plates from Sweden! :) I hope you are able to make it over some time. I know you'd enjoy it! Have a great weekend!
I love the architecture! The picture of the beach with all the umbrellas was wonderful, too!
Thanks for sharing with Motivation Monday!
I know, me too!!! The beach here is GOREOUS!
