An unforgettable blend of sea, mountains, woods and sweeping plains, modern Croatia was born of a thousand years of diverse history. European, Slavic, Roman and Byzantine influences merged to form a unique and rich culture in the midst of splendid natural beauty. In the Middle Ages, Dubrovnik once rivaled Venice. A walled city set on the Adriatic, its maritime trade and wealth produced a sophisticated city state where the arts and sciences flourished. The old town of Star Grad is a marvel of medieval churches, fountains, and cobbled hills. In Split, the palace built by the Emperor Diocletian in the third century AD remains one of the world's most important historic buildings, a dazzling mix of Roman, Egyptian and Gothic styles.
