Wow.. I’m totally ignorant… Who were the the people of this area…?
-
Ancient people, Juan, who settled in those parts…

..the Dalmatian Coast was settled (or inhabited) by an ancient people called “ILLYRIANS” and some are descended from the old Roman colonists, slavic and latin (Italian) people! For you see, if that cursed, satanic King Tomislav and the equally satanic (and some historians say that this JESUS CHRIST was a fictitious character who NEVER existed) Catholic church did not allow the Vlasi (so -called Serbians) into Croatian lands, we would NOT have the trouble in Croatia (or former Jugoslavia) as we do today! There would have been NO Balkan Wars, no assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand by serbian terrorists, and no BLEIBURG in WW2 and no Homeland War if these “serbians” were NOT allowed into Croatia or Bosnia! It’s too bad that Bulgarian King Simeon did NOT kill all these serbians on the Drina River! Now they are killing the Croats and other peoples of the area!

Oh, Tempus Fugit, take a load off – the world cannot say “what if a thousand years ago”. And by the way historians are only mortals who often write what they call history but in fact they have written fiction. Jesus Christ is no fiction – he exists and existed

Yeah, because surely some other group of people wouldn’t have found an excuse to attack Croatia in order to take its resources…because only Serbs are evil, the rest of the world is just peachy and would never start territorial wars with a beautiful, resource rich, strategically positioned nation like Croatia or Bosnia.

What fun to find old ruins. They cause such strong bonds to those who walked before us. Hugs, Barbara

Yes, they do, Barbara – hugs back!

There is so much history to our country and so many undiscovered places to see that I am constantly amazed by the many findings and beauty. Thanks for sharing such a treasure.

Me too, Kev 😀

I love these ruins and I love Solin. To be very honest, I like that the place is not as tourist-heavy as Split. It’s just nice to see more of the locals in their day to day lives and it’s a very peaceful little place.

Hello,
I’m Ina
I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia. I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
