Sven Kulušić
Abstract
The paper analyzes in detail dry constructions as typical feature of cultural landscape of the Croatian Adriatic coastlands. The analysis of the typology of building on limestone of the northern Dalmatian islands, particularly the Kornati Islands, results in physiognomical classification of dry construction representative of the greater Croatian coastal region. All of the separate types are specific indicators of functional characteristics of a particular time and space, primarly of the economic situation. For that reason, this type of building has large cultural and historic importance as a distinct mark of regional identity and offers the possibility of its valorization in the contemporary tourism.
