| Abstract | Grad Opuzen nalazi se na jugu Republike Hrvatske, u blizini delte Neretve. Ovim diplomskim radom grad je sagledan iz perspektive umjetničke topografije, projekta Instituta za povijest umjetnosti, što podrazumijeva uvid u genezu grada, konkretno geografske, prometne i demografske značajke te povijesni kontekst, kako bi se mogla predstaviti preobrazba Opuzena od njegova nastanka do današnjeg stanja. Otkrivanjem urbane morfologije uočavaju se njezini akcenti: spomenici koji se ističu u gradskoj vizuri i koji upućuju na povijesni život grada. U širem okruženju nalaze se dvije fortifikacije, Brštanik i Kula Norinska, čije postojanje i dominacija u krajoliku podsjećaju kako se i u samom Opuzenu nekada nalazilo utvrđenje Forte Opus, od kojeg danas nije ništa sačuvano. Stoga se otvorio prostor sljedećem akcentu, glavnom gradskom trgu koji kao cjelina zauzima najveći dio površine nekadašnje utvrde. Uz promjenu iz vojne funkcije u naselje, druga je najveća promjena krajolika grada koji je u povijesti etiketiran močvarnim smještajem, nastala provedbom regulacije i melioracije. U vrijeme regulacije nastaje možda najzapaženiji akcent u panorami grada, Stari most. Uvidom u značaj ovih spomenika, dolazi se do shvaćanja potrebe za njihovom zaštitom, stoga će se prezentirati njihovo trenutno stanje očuvanosti odnosno zapuštenosti kao apel na konzervaciju. U kontekstu zaštite spomenika prokomentirat će se vandalizam prema spomeniku, skulpturi Stjepana Filipovića, što je rezultiralo njegovim gubitkom u ambijentu Opuzena. Na koncu, ponudit će se prijedlozi za oživljavanje ambijentalnih i spomeničkih vrijednosti, koji se pronalaze u okviru dva dokumenta Vijeća Europe: Faro konvenciji i Deklaraciji Santiago de Compostela te projektu Leksikografskog zavoda Miroslav Krleža, Atlas tehničke baštine. |
| Abstract (english) | The town of Opuzen is located in the south of the Republic of Croatia, near the delta of Neretva River. This master thesis examines the city from the perspective of artistic topography, inspired by a project of the Institute of Art History, which entails an insight into the genesis of the city, specifically geographical, traffic and demographic features, as well as the historical context, in order to present the transformation of Opuzen from its creation to its current state. Discovering the urban morphology reveals its accents: monuments that stand out in the city environment and point to the historical life of the city. In the wider area there are two fortifications, Brštanik and Kula Norinska, whose existence and dominance in the landscape remind that in Opuzen there used to be a fortress called Forte Opus, of which nothing has been preserved today. Therefore, space was opened for the next accent, the main city square, which as an ensemble occupies the largest part of the area of the former fortress. In addition to the change from a military function to a settlement, the second biggest change in the landscape of the city, which in history has been labelled as a swamp, was created by the implementation of regulation and land reclamation. At the time of regulation, perhaps the most noticeable accent in the city's panorama, the Stari most, was created. An insight into the significance of these monuments leads to an understanding of the need for their protection, therefore their current state of preservation or neglect is presented as an appeal for conservation. In the context of the importance of monument protection thesis brings a comment on vandalism towards sculpture of Stjepan Filipović, which during Homeland War resulted in its loss in the surroundings of Opuzen. At the end, proposals are offered for the revival of ambient and monumental values, which are found within two documents of the Council of Europe: The Faro Convention and the Declaration of Santiago de Compostela. Also, in the Miroslav Krleža Lexicographic Institute project, called Atlas of Technical Heritage. |
