Vrpolje, Split-Dalmatia County

The Vrpolje region is dotted with sixteen traditional water sources, encompassing ponds, wells, and cisterns, all designated as culturally significant heritage architecture. Historically crucial for supplying year-round water to both the local population and their livestock, these sites held a parallel importance as gathering points for sharing news and gossip, or for courtship. A specific cluster of three representative reservoirs exists on Jelinak Hill within Vrpolje, including the culturally protected "Lokva" pool near the Church of Jesus' Holy Heart.^[5]

Built in 1927, the cut-stone church is notable for its pentagonal apse and a bell tower built into its facade.^[6]
