Because Of Dark Secrets, These Hotels Were Abandoned For Several Decades

3. Hotel Goricina, Kupari, Croatia: War's Scars on the Adriatic

The Hotel Goricina was once a jewel in a complex of military resort hotels in Kupari, a picturesque bay near Dubrovnik, Croatia, primarily serving officers of the Yugoslav People's Army and their families. Built in the 1960s and 70s, these hotels boasted prime beachfront locations. However, during the Croatian War of Independence in the early 1990s, Kupari was heavily attacked and shelled, leading to the hotels being looted and burned. Hotel Goricina, like its neighbours, now stands as a hollowed-out, war-scarred skeleton, its concrete frame a stark and sobering testament to the conflict that shattered a once-popular holiday destination.
