Cultural Landscape

Since Croatia is mostly a rural country there are not very many changes that they have made to the landscape. Croatia is along the coast so there are cities built alongside the ocean. Also since it is very rural the cities that they do have are very tightly packed. Since most of the population lives along the coast they are huge on boating. Croatia uses the Adriatic Sea as a huge resource for travel, food and enjoyment.  They built few roads throughout the country side but the view when driving is absolutely amazing. Croatia's buildings are mostly made out of brick and concrete which gives them a very old European style.
