DESTINATION
Donji Prolozac is located in the south of Croatia in the Split-Dalmatia County (Central Dalmatia), leaning on the historic town of Imotski. Discovering all its treasures and beauties is a special and unforgettable life experience. Donji Proložac and its surroundings with many natural beauties, historical sites, unexplored and romantic locations is an ideal destination for lovers of geotourism, ecotourism, cultural, gastronomic, religious tourism or adventure. The shed was named after the rift-canyon of the Suvaja River, which broke it, that is, sank into the plain (M. Simundic, 1989). The symbol of Proložac is an old stone bridge in the center of town.
The geographical position and good transport connections will show all visitors the way to an ideal vacation spot. It takes only half an hour to drive to the most beautiful European sandy beaches on the Makarska Riviera. Split and Trogir are an hour and a half away, and a visit to Mostar or the shrine of Medjugorje in the neighboring Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina can be reached in an hour. Dubrovnik, the pearl of Croatian and world tourism, can be reached in about 2 hours by car.
