Municipality of Lećevica: Karst Landscape and Cultural Heritage

The A1 motorway runs through the municipal area, where the Radošić rest area is also located. Cultural points of reference include the Church of St. George in Radošić and the church dedicated to St. Martin in Lećevica. Nature and landscape are characterised, among other things, by two Natura 2000 references and typical karst pastures.

The A1 motorway runs through the Municipality of Lećevica. The Radošić rest area is also located within the municipal area. Both are specific points of reference when planning a trip and comparing the location of accommodation with your own preferences. To make a precise decision about location, consider the location of the specific accommodation, rather than relying on the municipality’s name alone.

The municipal area also includes the namesake settlement of Lećevica. This lets you distinguish between the municipal area as a whole and the specific settlement when continuing your search, without treating the two as the same location.

As of 28 August 2023, three protected cultural properties are listed with their respective names and numbers: the Stećak necropolis in Divojevići, a protected cultural property under Z-4701; the rural settlement unit of the hamlet of Škopljanci in Radošić, a protected cultural property under Z-3587; and the Pišteti wells in Radošić, an immovable cultural property of local significance under L-55. The different designations show that the entries cover different types of cultural heritage.

The religious buildings also offer a contrast across time. The Church of St. George in Radošić dates from the 11th century and is considered the largest religious building in Lećevica. The church dedicated to St. Martin in Lećevica dates from the 18th century. If you are interested in architectural and church history, these are two churches from distinctly different centuries.

Another point of reference is the Chapel of St. Mark on Mount Ljubeć. It stands 678 metres above sea level and offers panoramic views across the entire area. Its elevation and the described panoramic view set it apart from the sites in the settlements of Radošić and Divojevići.

Typical karst pastures cover the municipality’s non-forested areas. This description refers to the open, non-forested part of the municipal area without implying that it covers the entire area. Two explicitly named Natura 2000 sites also help with orientation in nature: Jama pod Malim Kraljevcem, code HR2000053, is located within the municipality. The bird protection area Mosor, Kozjak i Trogirska zagora, code HR1000027, is also within the municipality and forms part of the Natura 2000 network.

The two names refer to different types of protected area: Jama pod Malim Kraljevcem is identified as a Natura 2000 site, while Mosor, Kozjak i Trogirska zagora is explicitly listed as a bird protection area. Together with the karst pastures, they offer a specific perspective on the landscape for travellers who want to take nature and cultural heritage into account when choosing a destination.

This keeps your decision aligned with your interests, rather than drawing conclusions about the entire municipal area from a single attraction.
