Key heritage sites include the Episcopal complex of the Euphrasian Basilica at Porec, the Cathedral of St. James in Sibenik, the historical Trogir city, the Palace of Diocletian, the old Dubrovnik city and the Plitvice lakes. Most of its beautiful national parks are located along the Adriatic coast.
