History
Plitvice Lakes National Park, located in Croatia, was established in 1949, making it one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe. The park is situated in the mountainous region of Croatia, between the Mala Kapela mountain range in the west and the Li?ka Plješivica mountain range to the east. Known for its cascading lakes, the park covers an area of nearly 300 square kilometers, with 16 interlinked lakes that range in color from azure to green, gray, or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.

Architecture
The Plitvice Lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, including azure, green, blue, and gray. The lakes are separated by natural dams of travertine, which are deposited by the action of moss, algae, and bacteria. The encrusted plants and bacteria accumulate on top of each other, forming travertine barriers which grow at the rate of about 1 cm per year. The 16 lakes are divided into an upper and lower cluster formed by runoff from the mountains, descending from an altitude of 636 to 503 m over a distance of eight km, aligned in a south-north direction.
