From this period date first early Croatian churches and written documents mentioning Croatians. From the 12th century until 1990. Croatia had many different rulers, among which there was the Habsburg Monarchy, which left deep traces in culture and every-day living in the continental part of the country: its capital, Zagreb, is called «little Vienna», and really, Zagreb has many things in common with Vienna, from the architectural point of view.

The surroundings of Zagreb abound in medieval fortresses and burgs, among which the most famous are Trakoscan and Veliki Tabor. On the coast, Romans, Venetians and Frenchmen left their traces; the towns on the coast abound in monuments dating back to Roman times (the amphitheater in Pula, the Diocletian Palace in Split…) and in monuments from the Renaissance (Dubrovnik, Sibenik, Trogir…). Even under foreign rule, Croatia had as a special territorial unit its own administration and has kept its culture and spirit throughout many centuries.

Croatia has also given many famous artists and scientists during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and in modern times. Long cultural tradition can be seen in a large number of cultural monuments and works of Croatian architects, sculpturers, painters, writers and world-famous scientists, such as Nikola Tesla, Ruđer Boskovic, Juraj Dalmatinac, Ivan Mestrovic, Julije Klovic, Marin Drzic and many others. As for the cultural heritage, the most important monuments have a status of UNESCO heritage; the town of Dubrovnik, the Sibenik cathedral, the old town in Trogir, the St. Euphrasius Basilica in Porec, the Diocletian Palace in Split and the Plitvice lakes.
