Croatia is also well known for its rich cultural history and heritage. It’s fascinating to learn about all the different empires that have roamed these lands. From ancient civilisations to the fall of Yugoslavia and the war of independence in the 1990s, Croatia has long been at the forefront of Balkan history.
