The territory of the county of Split and Dalmatia
Because of its central position on the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea, the county of Split and Dalmatia has always had an extraordinary cultural and historical role. This entire rounded area consist of a wide hinterland through which flows the river Cetina, and of a coastal belt with an archipelago with many islands. Generous nature has garnished this rich and heterogeneous area with hidden bays, beaches, cliffs, karst, emerald groves, sea straits and vast hight seas.
The islands of Brac, Hvar and Vis are wide, with beautiful landscapes and hierarchies of bigger and smaller settlements seem to be threaded on a string along the coast. The hinterland, to which even the breath of the Mediterranean reaches, consists of a mountainous landscape with karst, wide fields and settlements, among which Sinj and Imotski have got urban characteristics. On the coast, the crossroads of continental and sea -ways, during the prehistoric and ancient era, the town of Salona has developed as the metropolis of the Roman province Dalmatia, whose role was taken over by Split in the early Middle Ages.
The Split & Dalmatia county is situated in the central part of the Dalmatian region. With a land surface area of 4524 km² (8% of the Republic of Croatia area), it is the second in size Croatian county. The county also encompasses 9473 km² of sea surface area. According to the administrative–territorial organisation, it has 16 towns and 39 districts. Its main centre is the city of Split, Croatia's second largest town (175140 residents).
Split is an important traffic intersection, as well as being the largest ferry port on the Croatian side of the Adriatic. The Split international airport is second by size and traffic significance in Croatia, while the airport on the island of Brac is intended for landing smaller aircraft, mainly for tourist purposes.
