Summary
Roman Avdagić, Hrvoje Kekez, Dario Žagar: The most beautiful Croatian castles and forts
The beauty of our homeland is made up of numerous small parts that together form a wonderful mosaic. Islands, mountains, rivers, cities, people and customs are its indispensable stones, but the fortifications give it a special shine. The stormy centuries of the Croatian past, which placed Croatia on the border area of great empires, left us many towers, forts, walls and other types of defensive architecture. On the other hand, our ancestors also enjoyed the beauty of our country, so individuals built some of the most representative residential buildings whose magnificent designs we still admire today.
In this book, the author of the text, Hrvoje Kekez, and the authors of the photos, Roman Avdagić and Dario Žagar, take us into the world of a hundred of the most beautiful Croatian castles and forts - a world intertwined with legends, but sometimes not so fairy-tale events. The journey from Baranja through all Croatian regions to Konavalo stops at precisely those localities that not so long ago were either the scene of great sieges and battles or, on the other hand, places of pleasant country life. There are a hundred reasons to get to know them better...
