In pictures: 44 photos of Croatia's stunning squares

For thousands of years, public plazas have been the centres of society. We visit them to buy and sell produce necessary for survival, to socialise, to receive information, to be entertained and, a bit less often, to begin revolutions.

In Croatia, public plazas are people's lifelines: almost every inhabited area has one, be it city or village. Discover the striking squares of Croatia (and a few fun facts along the way) through our selection of 44 photos, from Samobor to Split, and everywhere in between.
