Croatia is a land of stunning contrasts, where the Adriatic coastline shimmers with countless islands and historic towns, offering a paradise for travelers. From the cobbled streets of Dubrovnik and Roman ruins of Split to the inviting beaches along the Dalmatian coast, each view showcases the beauty of the Mediterranean. Inland, the national parks, with their waterfalls, lakes, and lush forests, reveal the country’s natural diversity.

At the heart of the exhibition stands the Croatian flag, a tricolor of red, white, and blue bearing the iconic checkerboard crest known as the šahovnica. This flag, with roots dating back to 1948, gained its current design on December 21, 1990, as Croatia affirmed its identity after centuries of Mediterranean and Central European influence. The checkerboard shield evokes the medieval Kingdoms of Croatia, while the five smaller shields above it represent Central Croatia, Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, Istria, and Slavonia—each region adding its unique history to the nation’s heritage.
