Croatia also has Dubrovnik, a breathtaking walled city.
And Italy has the Vatican City, a living testament to history and art.
Yet, Croatia boasts the Plitvice Lakes, a natural wonder of cascading turquoise waterfalls.
Italy, of course, is renowned for the Renaissance, with masters like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael.
Croatia possesses its own artistic traditions, such as Klapa singing, hauntingly beautiful a cappella music.
Italy has opera, Pavarotti, and La Scala.
And Croatian folk dancing, with its vibrant costumes and energy.
