The Children’s Village spa near Promajna, not far from Makarska, was once a famous place where children with respiratory problems came from the former Yugoslavia, but also from other countries, and today it looks like Chernobyl, writes nova.rs.
The children’s village attracted the first visitors to Promajno, a small town where the residents replaced fishing nets with apartments for rent.
According to baskavoda.hr, Promajna at the foot of Biokovo, four kilometers south of Baška Voda owes its name to the source of life – the Sun, because the name refers to the passing of the Sun.
And indeed, the beneficial forest, the sea and the sun used to work together to help children thrive, but today the Children’s Village, regardless of its potential, is unrecognizable.
This was also confirmed by the wandering photographer, nature conservationist Romeo Ibrišević from the association for nature, environment and sustainable development Zelena Stopa, who recorded shocking photos of the former health resort, full of garbage.
As Romeo Ibrišević says, he barely found a complex in the pine forest where children were treated forty years ago.
Although the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Construction and State Property has already announced the sale of the Children’s Village complex with a capacity of 800 beds, the devastated facility of the former health resort is still full of garbage, left to the mercy of time, concludes nova.rs.
