This book presents the development of art and the most significant monuments in Croatia from prehistory to the beginning of the 20th century. It is illustrated with 200 color photographs and 10 black-and-white floor plans and graphic illustrations.
The monograph Artistic Treasures of Croatia (Umjetničko blago Hrvatske) by the distinguished Croatian art historian Radovan Ivančević presents a unique and monumental overview of Croatia’s artistic heritage, spanning from prehistory to the contemporary era.

The book is distinguished by exceptional methodological clarity, scholarly depth, and aesthetic vision, situating monuments within their broader European and Mediterranean contexts. Ivančević successfully illustrates the richness and diversity of stylistic periods—from pre-Romanesque heritage, through the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque, to modern artistic movements.
