A brief history of Croatia in Croatia canvas prints

Croatia is a country that straddles Central and Southeast Europe on the Adriatic Sea. It is officially called the Republic of Croatia and its capital is the city of Zagreb. Photowall honors this city with its “Zagreb Croatia Skyline” Croatia canvas prints, available to you in a variety of colors. This great land is composed of twenty countries and has a population of roughly 4.07 million people. The Croats settled into their territory in the 6th century and divided it into two duchies. It was recognized as an independent country on June 7, 1879. Croatia is considered a sovereign state and is a republic that adopts the parliamentary form of government. It boasts membership in the European Union, the United Nations, NATO, and the World Trade Organization. It also shares a portion of its armed forces with the International Security Assistance Force and holds a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council. It is ranked by the World Bank as having a high-income economy. This worthy country has made its way into Photowall’s Croatia canvas prints by virtue of these qualities.

The old days

The region we currently know as Croatia has been actively inhabited since the Prehistoric Period. One of the best-preserved sites in this country nestles in Krapina, where the fossils of Neolithic cultures can be seen even to this day. These sites are most commonly positioned near the river valleys of Northern Croatia. Photowall gives you a glimpse of this amazing tidbit of pre-history with its “Veliki Slap Waterfall” Croatia canvas prints. This precious addition to our Croatia canvas prints collection allows you to marvel at the wide expanse and breathtaking natural vista this country holds. Much later, Croatia became annexed as part of the Roman Empire under Emperor Diocletian, who reigned from his palace in Split until he descended his throne in A.D. 305. This particular period in Croatian history had its demise with the invasion of the Avars and the Croats in the 7th century. The Romans who lived through this invasion migrated to the numerous islands and mountains that dotted the countryside. These beautiful countrysides are depicted in Photowall’s “Country Road, Croatia” Croatia canvas prints. This particular piece will lend an air of freedom and open space to your living rooms or relaxation spaces.
