Petrovo Polje (Croatia)

Petrovo Polje is the shape of an isosceles triangle 17 kilometres (11 mi) long and 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) wide, and is surrounded by mountains Svilaja, Promina and Moseć.

The average number of frost days per year is 30, between October and April.

[4] The settlements are situated on the edge of the field: Drniš, Kričke, Ružić, Umljanović, Kljake, Čavoglave, Gradac, Otavice, Kanjane, Parčić, Miočić, Biočić, Tepljuh, Siverić, Badanj.

Its present-day name, first mentioned in the 11th century, is believed to refer to Petar Snačić (or Svačić), the last Croatian king, and his Petrovac castle which he built in the Petrovo Polje's northern edge.

[2][3] In Otavice, a small village on the edge of Petrovo Polje, there is a Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, which is also the Meštrović family mausoleum, built by the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović between 1926 and 1930.
