Culture and History
The Church of the Holy Redeemer is listed in Croatia’s Register of Cultural Heritage. More than 1,100 graves have been found around the church.
Pločasti most is considered a unique example of bridging a river with Stećak slabs. It is a low, simple stone bridge made of 33 almost regular Stećak slabs.
Nature
The Cetina rises at an altitude of 385 metres on the northwestern slopes of the Dinara near the village of Cetina. The Vrela Cetine spring area comprises three major springs: Veliko vrilo (Glavaš), Vukovića vrilo and Batića vrilo.
The springs of the Cetina form the protected hydrogeological natural monument of Vrela Cetine. Vukovića vrilo is one of these three major springs; clear blue-green karst water emerges there from a speleological structure. Vrela Cetine covers 29.81 hectares and has been protected as a landscape of special significance since 1972.
