Abstract
This paper wishes the draw attention to the Glagolitic heritage of the Gacka Valley, as well as to the linguistic, cultural and national values of the project of the Holy Trinity Parish in the city of Otočac. It presents „Gacka park of croatian memories“, the project landscaping church grounds and its park, wich is designed as a park area filled with stone cubes, enriched with artistic inspiration, where the link between all of cubes are Glagolitic letters. The artistic concepiton of the park is visualized as a book placed in a stone, which begins telling its story in the distant past, starting from the ninth century and Princ Borna, the first ruler who founded the nucleus of the Medieval croatian State, and finishing at the end of the last century, when croatian State was revived. choosing Glagolitic alphabet opened a wider cultural horizon, which is not strongly religiously embraced, and it moved from the eccleastical framework to a wider historical and cultural level.
