Abstract
This paper presents a hundred-year old history of a cement factory from the surroundings of Omiš in its regional context. It was built in Ravnice in 1908 by the local entrepreneurs. The factory changed hands several times until it finally closed down in 1983. In 2006 it was demolished and replaced by a tourist apartment development but its traces have remained in its wider surroundings - the workers’ housing development, operational quay and clay pits.
