EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Karlobag, Croatia: A Historical Gem Nestled Between the Adriatic Sea and the Velebit Mountain Range". This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Karlobag, a picturesque coastal town located in Croatia. Established in the 14th century by Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, Karlobag is named after him, with "Karlo" being the Croatian variant of Charles. The town is situated beneath the majestic Velebit mountain range, which stretches along the northern Adriatic Sea, and overlooks the island of Pag, west of Gospi and south of Senj. The image transports us back in time, as we witness the quaint houses and narrow streets, untouched by modern developments, nestled between the clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and the rugged mountain terrain. The Velebit mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to diverse flora and fauna, including the rare and elusive griffon vulture. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the fascinating history of Karlobag, which has been shaped by its unique location and the influences of various civilizations over the centuries. From the Roman and Byzantine periods to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the present day, this charming town continues to captivate visitors with its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. Taken in 1936, this photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Karlobag and its ability to transport us to another era, inviting us to explore its hidden treasures and uncover the stories that lie within its walls.
