Discover more about Abandoned Health Resort

The abandoned Children's Maritime Military Health Resort, also known as the Children's Maritime Resort for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Children with Lung Disease Insured Through the Military, is located in Krvavica, Croatia. Constructed between 1963 and 1964, this modernist architectural masterpiece was designed by Rikard Marasović. The resort catered to children with respiratory illnesses whose parents were employed by the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA). The building's unique design, often described as a "ring on pillars," offers panoramic views of both the Biokovo mountains and the Adriatic Sea. The resort operated until the early 1990s when the Croatian War of Independence began. During the war, it served as a shelter for refugees before being abandoned and falling into disrepair. Today, the abandoned health resort is owned by the Republic of Croatia and managed by the state company Club Adriatic d.o.o.. Despite its deteriorating condition, the building remains a significant example of modern health/spa architecture and is preventively protected as a cultural heritage site. The site attracts urban explorers, photographers, and those interested in the history of the former Yugoslavia. The graffiti-covered walls and empty rooms offer a glimpse into the past, while the surrounding pine forest and stunning coastal views provide a unique and evocative atmosphere.
