| Historical destiny of all
beautiful countries has always been a destiny of repeated wars. Through
the ages countries and their peoples have been victims of enemy raids and
plunders; their goods taken away and their culture ruined. Even so, it
seems that the culture of any nation survives with its people. Croatian
culture survived and is offered today to visitors for pleasure and delight. |
