The climate year of Split
UNESCO has put Split with its thousands of years old history on the list for the protection of historical world heritage. It was formed about 1700 years ago on the rivers Jadro and Movnica and has the warmest climate on the Mediterranean north coast. In winter, with its mild climate, it acts as a pleasant oasis on the Croatian Adriatic coast. Split is situated on a peninsula with the Mosor mountain range in the hinterland, the Kozjak mountain range to the northwest and the Perun mountain range to the east. The old city center of Split is located at the eastern end of the peninsula and in front of it are the islands of Brac, Hvar, Solta and Ciovo. The largest island is Brac, which can be reached by speedboat. From there comes the white stone from which the White House in Washington, the New Court in Vienna and the Parliament in Budapest are built. It is still quarried today in the local quarries.
