Dalmatia (Croatian: Dalmacija, German: Dalmatien, Italian:

Dalmazia, Serbian: [Cyrillic] Далмација, Russian: [Cyrillic]
Далмация) is a region on the eastern coast of the Adriatic
Sea and is situated in modern Croatia. It spreads between
the island of Rab in the northwest and the Bay of Kotor, in
Montenegro, in the southeast. The hinterland, the Dalmatian
Zagora, ranges from fifty kilometers in width in the north to
just a few kilometers in the south. The Dalmatian dog gets its
name from Dalmatia.
In antiquity the Roman province of Dalmatia was much larger
than the present-day region, stretching from Istria to
historical Albania. Dalmatia signified not only a geographical
unit, but it was an entity based on common culture and
settlement types, a common narrow eastern Adriatic coastal
belt, Mediterranean climate, sclerophyllous vegetation of the
Illyrian province, Adriatic carbonate platform, and karst
geomorphology.
The southernmost transitional part of historical Dalmatia, the
Gulf of Kotor, is not part of present-day Croatian Dalmatia,
but part of Montenegro.
The largest Dalmatian mountains are Dinara, Mosor, Svilaja,
Biokovo, Moseć, Veliki Kozjak and Mali Kozjak.
The largest Dalmatian islands are Dugi Otok, Ugljan,
Pašman, Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Vis, Lastovo, and Mljet. The
rivers are Zrmanja, Krka, Cetina and Neretva.
Today Dalmatia is divided between Croatia and Montenegro.
Montenegro holds a small southern area, around the Bay of
Kotor, while the rest is in Croatia. The vast majority of
Dalmatia is, therefore, Croatian, and is oganized in four
counties: Split-Dalmatia County, with the seat in Split; Zadar
County, with the seat in Zadar; Dubrovnik-Neretva County,
with the seat in Dubrovnik; Šibenik-Knin County, with the seat
in Šibenik.
Other large cities in Croatian Dalmatia include Biograd,
Primošten, Vodice, Trogir, Kaštela, Solin, Knin, Sinj, Trilj,
Imotski, Omiš, Makarska, Metković, and Ploče.
