You may recognize the towering walls of Dubrovnik, the famed city-state of the Renaissance, but Croatia has countless other art and architectural treasures. Standing at the geographic intersection of several cultures, the country has been coveted by various foreign powers for centuries, with Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, and Ottomans all leaving their mark.
Scholar of Renaissance and Baroque art Aneta Georgievska-Shine examines the artistic legacy of this long and tangled history. In addition to an exploration of the UNESCO World Heritage Site city of Dubrovnik, other sites covered are the Amphitheater in Pula, the palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian in Split, and cathedrals in Porec, Zadar, and Sibenik.
