Questions about this page

How many archaeological & historic sites are there in Croatia?

Which is the oldest?

Pula Arena, dated to 26 BC. 2 of these 22 carry a founding date, 1 of them from before the year 1000.

Where does this information come from?

Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
