Croatian Culture
Art and Literature
Sculptor Ivan Mestrovic is a celebrated figure within Croatia's art world. His work can be seen in town squares throughout the country, and he has also designed several imposing buildings, including the Croatian History Museum in Zagreb.
Croatian Music and Dance
Croatian folk music is a real mixture of styles. The kolo is a lively Slavic round dance accompanied by violinists or players of the 'tambura', a Croatian mandolin. The guitar and accordion bands that originate from Dalmatia are distinctly Italian in flavour.
Croatian Food and Drink
Croatian cuisine is heterogeneous, and is therefore known as "the cuisine of regions". Mainland cuisine is characterised by the earlier Proto-Slavic and the more recent contact with Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish cuisine. The coastal region bears the influences of the Greek, Roman and Illyrian, as well as of the later Mediterranean cuisine - Italian and French.
Croatian cuisine comprises many greasy delicacies, including burek, a layered pie made with meat or cheese, and piroska, a cheese doughnut from the Zagreb region.
The Adriatic coast excels in seafood. Regional dishes include scampi, prstaci (shellfish), and Dalmatian brodet (mixed fish stewed with rice). Inland, specialities include manistra od bobica - beans and fresh maize soup, or struckle - cottage cheese rolls.
