Abstract

region are discussed. By its many features Podgorje is an atypical part of the Croatian coastal
belt, with specific identity features. The name itself already points to the mountain ("podgorje" –
"foothills"), and not to the sea as a starting point. There are various points of view in the literature
about the correct definition of the area that Podgorje encompasses. The Podgorje coastal places
with their appearance differ from the regular appearance of our little littoral towns, whilst the
rural settlements have the physiognomy of a village of the Dinaric mountain belt. In addition,
the main features of the coverage of the region’s population are presented. Without the town of
Senj, and even with it, this is a sparsely populated part of Croatia. From the view of transport, the
1950s were crucial years of the construction of the main Adriatic highway – the magistrale, which
longitudinally connected the whole of Podgorje.
