Dalmatian Hinterland

Approximate area of the Dalmatian Hinterland.

The Dalmatian Hinterland (Croatian: Dalmatinska zagora, Italian: La Morlacca or Zagora dalmata) is the southern inland hinterland in the historical Croatian region of Dalmatia. The name zagora means 'beyond (the) hills', which is a reference to the fact that it is the part of Dalmatia that is not coastal and the existence of the concordant coastline where hills run parallel to the coast.
