Center of the World

The island of Rava, located in the Zadar archipelago, is known for its relaxing atmosphere and natural beauty, but one of its interesting features is the “Center of the World” marker. According to the story, locals believe that Rava, despite its modest size, is symbolically the center of the world. This name originates from old fishermen and sailors who, after long journeys, would always say that by returning to the island, they were actually coming back to the “Center of the World” – a place of peace and spiritual harmony.
