The paper explores the residential architecture of the port-industrial town of Ploče in the period from 1945 to 1971, affirming the town as a unique example of planned modernist realization on the eastern Adriatic. Ploče is a unique town that developed on the Dalmatian karst in a deep natural harbour at the mouth of the Neretva River, in which a modern port-industrial town was built for the needs of the magnificent harbour, combining the principles of modern architecture with elements of tradition, and urbanism that affirms views of the harbour, pedestrian connections, and autochthone horticulture. By employing various methods - historiographical and morphological analysis of residential architecture, as well as the study of unpublished archival materials - the paper valorises the contribution of local architecture within the broader context of Croatian postwar Modernism.
