Welcome to Croatian Art Month

 


In our "Mobility of Local Art Values" project, we work on the local art values of a country every month. For November, we are visiting one of the most beautiful countries in the Balkans: Croatia! In "Croatia Art Month", we are working on the art of "Kravata".


CROATİA

Croatia is a very important European country located at the confluence of the Balkans, Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Serbia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea constitute the neighboring countries of Croatia. The Croatian islands, which are over 1000, are important data on the geography of Croatia. While only about 50 of the Croatian islands are inhabited, Cres and Krk are the two largest islands of the country. Sava, Drava, Kupa and Danube rivers are the important rivers of Croatia. Especially the Danube river is of vital importance for the territory of Croatia, while at the same time it is the 2nd longest river in Europe. Croatian lakes, on the other hand, form an extremely important image for the Croatian panorama. Pliturce lake, which consists of 16 lakes and waterfalls, is rarely seen among Croatian lakes.
