At the Croatian Coral Center Zlarin, the centuries-old tradition of coral cultivation on this small island in the Šibenik archipelago is presented in an innovative and captivating manner. Coral harvesting is an activity for which Zlarin is renowned, and it represents the island’s most significant cultural heritage. The first written records of Zlarin coral hunters date back to the 15th century, and the influence of red coral branches permeates every aspect of life, history, and tradition on Zlarin.
Zlarin has earned the title of the Island of Corals due to its historical legacy and tradition of extracting, processing, and trading corals. With the establishment of the Coral Center, red coral assumes a new role as a catalyst for the island’s development.
Instead of exploitation, the allure and significance of red coral form the foundation of a narrative advocating for the preservation of biodiversity.
Zlarin is a small undiscovered jewel of our coast that is distinguished by its pristine nature and exceptionally rich historical and cultural heritage. Due to its geographical position, Zlarin has always held the strategic role of St. Ante Channel gatekeeper and the guardian of Šibenik.
This green island with total length of 8,19km2 will, as soon as you reach its port, dazzle you with its position protected from southern and northeast winds, making it attractive to a large number of sailors. You can feel the benefits of the sea and vegetation everywhere you go, and the stillness on the island is only broken by seagulls, peasants, woodpeckers or owls. It should be noted that there are 2700 sunlight hours per year, which makes the island one of the sunniest on the Adriatic coast. The highest peak of Zlarin is Klepac (169m) from where you can see the entire Zlarin sea surface and Šibenik channel, all the way to Velebit on one side and sometimes, all the way to the volcanic island of Jabuka on the other.
