THE DALMATIAN COAST

Dalmatia is one of the four historical regions of Croatia, alongside Croatia proper, Slavonia, and Istria. Dalmatia is a narrow belt of the east shore of the Adriatic Sea, stretching from the island of Rab in the north to the Bay of Kotor in the south. The name of the region stems from anIllyrian tribe called theDalmatae, who lived in the area inclassical antiquity. Later it became aRoman province, and as result aRomance culture emerged, along with the now-extinctDalmatian language, later largely replaced with relatedVenetian. With the arrival of Croats to the area in the 8th century, who occupied most of the hinterland, Croatian and Romance elements began to intermix in language and culture. During the Middle Ages, its cities were often conquered by, or switched allegiance to, the kingdoms of the region. The longest-lasting rule was the one of theRepublic of Venice, which controlledmost of Dalmatia between 1420 and 1797, with the exception of the small but stableRepublic of Ragusa (1358–1808) in the south. Between 1815 and 1918, it was a province of theAustrian Empire known as theKingdom of Dalmatia. After the Austro-Hungarian defeat in theFirst World War, Dalmatia was split between theKingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes which controlled most of it, and theKingdom of Italy which held several smaller parts, and afterWorld War II,SFR Yugoslavia took complete control over the area.
