Croatian Walk of Fame

Removed from Unnamed collection

In 2005, the Croatian Walk of Fame project kicked off in the charming coastal town of Opatija, thanks to the creative minds at Apriori Communications. This project serves as a heartfelt nod to all the amazing individuals whose achievements in sports, science, culture, or the arts have put Croatia on the global map.

The selection process is quite democratic and engaging. It starts with the project's independent Nomination Board, a group of respected public figures who shortlist potential honorees. From there, it's up to the readers of the media sponsors to cast their votes and decide which two candidates, one living and one honored posthumously, will earn their stars on this prestigious promenade.

Strolling down the Croatian Walk of Fame is like taking a fascinating journey through the nation's rich legacy. Each star tells a story, celebrating the life and work of those who have shaped Croatia's identity in the world. Opatija itself, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic," is a stunning backdrop, with its elegant architecture and lush gardens making it a delightful spot to explore. Whether you're a history buff or just someone who appreciates a good walk, this place offers an inspiring blend of past and present.
