Imotski

Another southern Croatian historic town in the hinterland of Split is Imotski. The Topana fortress from the 10th century rises above the roofs of the stone houses and provides a unique panoramic view of the town and its surrounding area. The fortress itself houses a votive church dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels, the patron saint of the town. Not far from fortress Topana are the famous Blue Lake, a popular swimming spot of the locals, and the Red Lake, a natural phenomenon and the deepest karst lake in Europe with a depth of 528 m. The proximity of Split, Makarska, Omiš, Tučepi and other places on the Makarska Riviera has contributed to the development of Imotski as a tourist destination, where friendly hosts welcome their guests in modern apartments, holiday homes and villas with swimming pools.
