Kaštela are built during 15. and 16. century. First, there was more of them, but only seven of them managed to develop into a settlement. The beauty of the Kaštela landscape has become an integral part of the description of European travel writers who, even before the development of organized tourism, recognized their beauty. Soon people from all over Croatia started to visit Kaštela, but tourism really started to grow with Henrik Šoulava's character and his guesthouse in KaštelLukšić. In those years Henrik Šoulavy was considered an exceptional tourism expert and he was the one who started organized type of tourism in Kaštela. His example was followed by many Kaštela families by opening the twentieth-century guesthouses in DonjaKaštela. The rise of tourism continues with PetarKamber by opening the first hotel in Donja Kaštela in 1928, Hotel Palace. At the time when Kaštela was still lacking, such as electrification, water supply and sewerage, this hotel owned its own electrical power plant. Since then, the Kaštela Riviera has started with the real rise of tourism, so it continues after Kamber's bankruptcy and hotel loss. The newspaper's statistics show that tourism, despite these shortcomings, flourished until the end of the thirties when the state of war was slowly beginning to emerge.
