Pacov
Welcome back again. In this entry we continue our tour of the Illyrian coastline with a visit to Pacov. Before we have a look at the actual town and its surroundings a brief history (brief, because there isn't much to say about the town).
The first reference to Pacov is in 1343, but it was abandoned soon after in the 1390s. People would not resettle here until the end of the XVIIIth century when a few houses where built, together with a church. It wasn't until the XXth century that Pacov would gain some importance when just south of the town a harbour and adjacent industrial park was constructed. The harbour would be constructed on the site of what used to be a bay, silted up over the centuries, because it is here that one of Illyria's larger rivers, the Morava, flows into the sea.
The town of Pacov: to the right the church and some old houses surrounding it. To the left some modern housing estates, built mainly for those who work in the harbour.

Below part of the harbour with the train station, mainly used for freight trains, although passenger trains also depart from this station. Also visible is the winding old coastal road. Most people nowadays use the highway (top left) which has a tunnel running under the town.

The harbour and industrial park.

Some pictures without comments.




Some night shots to conclude. Hope to see back again!
