Croatia: Stari Grad

This summer we have been on vacation in Croatia, in Stari Grad, on Hvar island. We have sent this local shaped postcard to my mother.

Stari Grad (literally Old Town) is a town on the northern side of the island of Hvar in Dalmatia, Croatia. One of the oldest towns in Europe, its position at the end of a long, protected bay and next to prime agricultural land has long made it attractive for human settlement.

The most ancient part of Stari Grad falls within the UNESCO Protected World Heritage Site of the Stari Grad Plain, while the entire municipality lies within the surrounding buffer zone.

This nice self-adhesive stamp is Cylinder Anemone (Cerianthus membranaceus), from set of four stamps Croatian Undersea World II, issued on 15.06.2015.
