IntroductionThere are many legends in Croatia
Many of them are about the origin of the names of villages
and towns, about saints’ lives or about heartbreaking love
As Croatia was on the border of the Austro-Hungarian and the
Ottoman empire, most of them are about the Turks
We will tell you about our three most famous legends
