Description:
Zagora, sometimes also called Dalmatian Zagora ("dalmatinska Zagora"), is a the southern inland region of Croatia. The name Zagora means "behind hills", which is a reference to the fact that it is the part of Dalmatia that is not coastal. Zagora, in the strict sense, spans from Sibenik eastern hinterland to east, where it borders with Herzegovina and Livanjski kraj. Its borders are present in two counties: Split-Dalmatia and Sibenik-Knin. A wallpaper depicts a typical, traditional house in a village in Dalmatian Zagora.

The terrain in Zagora is fairly rugged: in the region immediately bordering the coastline, it is mostly flat but dry, mainly covered with makija (maquis, macchia). More inland, there tend to be more greener pastures, as the climate and elevations change. Karst topography dominates the landscape. The land is interspersed with river canyons, of Krka, Cikola, Cetina and others.

One national park is located in Zagora, the Krka National Park. The area has had diminishing human settlement in the last few centuries, although a lot of smaller and larger villages remain scattered all over Zagora, such as Arzano. The larger towns include Drnis, Vrlika, Sinj, Vrgorac , Trilj and Imotski.
