Dugopolje

Dugopolje is a village and a municipality in Croatia in the Split-Dalmatia County.

The name Dugopolje literally translates as 'long field'. There are other villages by that name, as well as poljes like one in the eponymous municipality, one on Dugi Otok, one on Mljet, one in Ravni Kotari, one near Rovinj, and a number of fields: in Andrilovec, one by Farkaševac, one in Lađevac [hr], one in Osijek, one in Sveti Lovreč.

In the 2021 census, the total population of the municipality was 3,742, in the following settlements:

In the same census, 99.5% were Croats.

Noted in Dugopolje is Vranjača cave. Dugopolje is located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the city of Split.

Dugopolje is located at the junction of the A1 Zagreb–Split–Dubrovnik motorway linking the north and the south of Croatia and the D1 Split-Sinj state road linking the coast and the hinterland of Central Dalmatia. Split Airport is 28 km from Dugopolje, making the area an attractive place to stay for those wanting to avoid crowded areas closer to Split.[tone] Other transportation options are also close by with the Split ferry terminal and Split railway station less than 20 km away.

Located a short drive from Dugopolje in the village of Kotlenice (in the Dalmatian hinterland), the Vranjača Cave is increasingly becoming a popular tourist destination for those interested in exploring nature.[tone]

The 65 meter deep cave was first discovered in 1903 by Stipe Punda and first became open to the public in 1929. The cave is estimated to be 65 to 70 million years old.[unreliable source?]
