Rural Ensemble of the Hamlet of Škopljanci, Radošić

Škopljanci is a hamlet of the village of Radošić, behind the hill of Kozjak, in the Kaštela hinterland (Zagora), in the municipality of Lećevica. It is interesting to a visitor because the preserved village space still reveals the way of life of past generations.

The hamlet developed around several smaller open spaces where the locals gathered, closed off by residential and farm buildings. The residential houses are ground-floor and two-storey buildings with an outside staircase and a solar (balcony), to a large extent with original interiors and an open hearth. They are built of dressed or hewn stone, with gabled roofs covered with stone slabs or channel tiles. The window and door frames are of stone, and the shutters of wood. Pojate with threshing floors, stables, pigsties and manure pits are placed at the edge of the hamlet, built of roughly worked stone.

The ensemble is a protected cultural property, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-3587.
