Dobar dan! For the past week, MUDEC has been exploring the sunny Croatian coast. It’s all part of this summer’s study tour, through which our students are learning about the history, heritage and culture of this beautiful region.
We spent the first day walking around the city of Zadar with a local guide. Located on the Dalmatian coast, Zadar is a historically important port city with a history dating back thousands of years. Though proudly Croatian today, it was, for centuries, a Venetian stronghold – a heritage still represented by the winged lion that adorns the old city gate.
On day two, we headed inland for a visit to Krka National Park and its awe-inspiring waterfalls. Day three was spent in the city of Split, in the shadow of the Diocletian Palace and the statue of 10th-century linguist Grgur Ninski (at left).
