Dalmatia

Enlarge picture
The Adriatic port of Hvar, Croatia, on the island of the same name off the Dalmatian coast. Several towns on the island were popular tourist resorts prior to the outbreak of civil war in 1991, and are now regaining their former status.

Region in Croatia. The capital is Split. It lies along the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and includes a number of islands. The interior is mountainous. Important products are wine, olives, and fish. Notable towns in addition to the capital are Zadar, Sibenik, and Dubrovnik.

History

Dalmatia became Austrian in 1815 and by the treaty of Rapallo in 1920 became part of the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Yugoslavia from 1931), except for the town of Zadar (Zara) and the island of Lastovo (Lagosta), which, with neighbouring islets, were given to Italy until transferred to Yugoslavia in 1947.
