VISIT KAŠTELA TOWN WITH ME!

Hello dear readers! Today I'm taking you to Kaštela town. This city is located in vicinity of my home town Split city.  The origin of Kaštela town is really interesting. It's composed of different villages that merged into one and with time this complex of villages became a town.

I think I mentioned quite a few times on this blog that fashion illustration was something I did even when I didn't know what it was called.
