History
A high karst plain 700 metres up, where in 1493 a Croatian noble army was decisively crushed by the Ottomans — one of the most consequential battles of Croatian history. Today it's a windswept plateau of scattered villages and huge skies. The modern memorial church at Udbina, with symbolic bells, is worth the climb.
“The Battle of Krbava Field in 1493 killed a huge share of Croatia's nobility in a single day — it's often cited as the moment the medieval Croatian state effectively ended.”
