The Balkans, an area that ranges from Slovenia to Greece, is a gateway from Europe to the Near East, shaped by craggy mountains that divide cultures and nations into isolated clusters.

This area has a history of bloodshed and great conflict, perhaps because its diversity can be its own worst enemy. Fundamental differences in religion, culture, and political theories have set many peoples in the region upon each other in a blood bath.

With the collapse of the Yugoslav federation in the opening years of the 90s, violent revolt led to a continual series of smaller wars jointly referred to as the Yugoslav War or the Balkans War. Political confusion and economic instability drew out lingering racial tensions that led to widespread ethnic cleansing in the region that further destabilized the situation.

Today, situation is a lot calmer, all of these nations and cultures are realy trying to overcome their differences.

ATTRACTIONS

Kalemegdan Fort

The oldest parts of Belgrade Fortress Kalemegdan date back to the first century AD, when it served as permanent Roman military camp. The Belgrade fort itself (split into the Lower and Upper towns) and the surrounding area (the Kalemegdan park) are located on the point where the river Sava flows into the Danube, which today means an amazing panorama but once was the main cause of repeated invasion and war over this strategic point.

Mostar Old Bridge

The Old Bridge of Mostar is located in the centre of Old City of Mostar. It was built in 1566. This arch construction connects the left and the right side of the Neretva River. Arch is 28.7 wide and 21m high compared with summer level of the river. From the highest amplitude in July every year jumps are held. Mostar was named after the wooden bridge (mostari – bridge keepers) which was on that place before it was rebuilt in 1520 into stone one.

Onofrio Fountain Dubrovnik

Opposite the Church of Holy Salvation, next to the Pile Gates, is the magnificent fountain built by Onofrio della Cava. The fountain was greatly damaged in the earthquake and its beauty and functionality impaired. It was erected as a celebration of the completion of the new waterworks in 1438, which thus supplied the city with water from the Dubrovnik River, 12 kilometres away.

Trogir

Trogir, a harmonious stone town on a small island that is connected to the mainland and the island of Čiovo by bridges. The old town, under UNESCO protection, is a treasure trove for lovers of art, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, Romanesque churches...  The small, narrow streets and small village squares, numerous restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops and galleries, along with numerous cultural and music open air events give this town a special atmosphere of the Mediterranean.

St. Stephen's Cathedral

The typically Gothic cathedral is known as Katedrala Marijina Uznesenja in Croatian but English speaking tourists often refer to it as the Zagreb Cathedral. Its twin spires, which can be seen from many parts of the city, make it the most visited attraction in Zagreb. The location has always been occupied by a Cathedral from ancient times.

The first Cathedral was destroyed during the Tartar attack in the 13th century and the present cathedral was built during the latter part of the 13th century.
