Abstract
This article explores several cases of the old quarries on the island Veliki Brijun which were rehabilitated and converted during the process of the entire landscape restoration of the island in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. An in-depth analysis of six cases of landscape redesign shows the potential to transform devastated and degraded landscapes into areas with great ambience value. These are the first cases of stone quarry rehabilitation and conversion in Croatia and among the first ones in Europe.
