Dugopolje

Dugopolje is a municipality located in the Split-Dalmatia County of Croatia. It is situated inland, northeast of the city of Split, in the Dalmatian hinterland.

The municipality is characterized by its location near the A1 highway connecting Zagreb and Split, making it a significant transportation hub. Its proximity to the highway has spurred economic development, particularly in logistics, commerce, and tourism.

Dugopolje's economy relies on a mix of agriculture, light industry, and increasingly, tourism. The municipality has seen a rise in accommodation options, including hotels and private apartments, catering to travelers seeking a base for exploring the wider Dalmatian region. The presence of the highway provides easy access to Split, the Dalmatian coast, and other inland attractions.

Geographically, Dugopolje sits in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

The population of Dugopolje is relatively small, characteristic of many inland Dalmatian municipalities. The area has a rich history, though often overshadowed by the more prominent coastal cities.
