Traces of Bizantine town planning in Croatia

Zlatko Karač

Abstract

The article analyzes Byzantine re-urbanization of the East Adriatic in the 6th and 7th centuries and the circumstances that led to the diminishing of existing towns, their ruralization (agrourban settlements), and urban relocation to fortified island points. From the aspect of continuity, the author singles out towns with a lasting classical foundation, dislocated or deserted towns, and new settlements that developed around Byzantine fortifications and monasteries.
