| Description |
Prolosko Blato is a vast swampy region of the Imotski field, which is part of the year under water, and only one small part is flooded during the whole year (Prolozac Lake).
In the period of high waters, when the whole Blato is flooded, only an islet called Manastir (Monastery) remains. It's called like that because the Franciscans built a monastery on it in 1453. According to legend, the friars, in fear of frequent Turkish attacks, used to fill up chasms through which the water drained away, so in that way they could keep the water during the whole year and protect the monastery on the islet. |
