Dalmatia
Dalmatia Region of
Croatia on the
e coast of the Adriatic; the provincial capital is
Split. From the 10th century it was divided
n/
s between Croatia and Serbia. By 1420, after centuries of fighting, most of Dalmatia was controlled by Venice. The Treaty of Campo Formio (1797) ceded the region to Austria. After World War 1 it became part of Yugoslavia. The coastline, a popular tourist destination since the 1960s, stretches along the Adriatic from Rijeka to the border with Montenegro. Most of the inland area is mountainous. In 1991, following Croatia's secession from the Yugoslav federation, Dalmatia was the scene of heavy fighting between Croats and Serbs. Other major cities in the region include Zadar (the historic capital) and
Dubrovnik. Area: 4524sq km (1747sq mi). Pop. (2001) 467,899.
