BAKARAC (Bakar, northern coast of the Adriatic Sea)
Takale
<\/strong>The organization of the vineyard area with dry stone construction on the imposing slopes above the Bay of Bakar dates back to the 18th century during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa. This form of painstaking economy, which combined the construction of dry stone walls and the cultivation of vines in demanding terrain, was women’s work, since the husbands were at the sea for most of the year.

BRIBIR (Skradin, Dalmatia)
<\/strong>Cultural landscape
Within the settlement of Bribir on the rugged plateau of Bukovice, there is the archaeological site Bribirska glavica, which bears witness to the extremely long historical continuity of this imposing and seemingly desolate area. Here, we record life in continuity from prehistoric times within the Liburnian ramparts, through the Roman municipium Varvariae, then the Christanisation under tutelage of Skradon diocese, then the medieval principality and the Bribir castrum which were especially flourished for the centuries-long rule of the \u0160ubi\u0107 princes, until the Turkish occupation at the end of the first quarter of the 16. century, resulting in a mass exodus of the Croatian population.
With the cessation of the Turkish threat in the second half of the 17th century, the newly arrived Orthodox population from Bosnia settled at the foot of the Glavice hill in the area of today’s Bribir.
Bribirska glavica has been called the Croatian Troy since the time of the research by Fr. Luja Marun, in 1908. In the foreground on horseback is probably the famous Danish and Split architect, archaeologist and conservator Ejnar Dyggve.

LIMS CHANNEL (The west coast of Istria, between Vrsar and Rovinj)
<\/strong>A panoramic view of the Lim channel, 35 kilometers long, which, together with the karst valley in its hinterland, forms the longest bay in Croatia, Limska draga, forty kilometers long in total. This morphological peculiarity very likely has distant common roots with the Pazin abyss and the river Pazin\u010dica. In the foreground, a female figure in half profile, from behind.

KLIS<\/strong>
Cultural landscape
The medieval fortress of Klis, at the same time the first Croatian capital and the royal center of the Trpimirovi\u0107 dynasty (9th century), developed on a gorge that dominates the wider Split area and to which it owes its name. The settlement at the foot of the fortress also bears the same name. View from the northeast side with the sea in the background.

A valid phrase describing the concept of a cultural landscape is \u201ca space with identity.\u201d In other words, the most concise definition of a cultural landscape is: a combined work of nature and humans. Although the term \u201ccultural landscape\u201d has been present in geographical terminology since the early 20th century, the key year for its international legal protection is 1992, when it was recognized as a distinct category of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28821,"parent":30342,"menu_order":1,"template":"","meta":{"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/?post_type=exhibition&p=27645"},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"acf":{"featured":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/30345"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/30342"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ekultura.hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
