Architect: Rikard Marasović

Alternative name:  Children’s Maritime Resort for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Children with Lung Disease Insured Through the Military

This abandoned medical resort on Croatia’s Adriatic Coast was established for the sole use of children who had a parent in the Yugoslav People’s Army and who suffered from breathing-related illnesses. It was the beginning of the Croatian War of Independence in 1991 that led to its resulting abandonment but not until after it became a shelter for refugees displaced by the conflict. Prior to this, the facility was strictly off-limits to anyone not connected with the military.
