This graduate thesis describes intangible cultural heritage of Makarska area. Makarska littoral is located at the foot of mountain Biokovo by the shore of the Adriatic sea and it occupies a space from Vrulja on the west to Baćina on the east. The first part of the thesis deals with the traditions of which I processed historical, mythical and demonological traditions and especially looking back at bishop of Makarska Nikola Bijanković and at plague epidemic in Makarska from 1815. which in consciousness and oral communication became almost the most significant moment in local history. The second part deals with the customs within the church and folk heritage: christmas and easter traditions and saints important in this area such as St. Clement, the patron saint of Makarska and St. Marco to who is dedicated the cathedral in our town. The rest of the thesis presents an overview of the customs associated with everyday life of people. The customs of childbirth and baptism, wedding and death are presented. Besides that, is also shown the appearance of the Makarska folk costume and the ancient games of Makarska littoral. The former cuisine of this region is also presented with an indispensable dessert cake makarana which is recognized as immaterial cultural good. A large part of ancient customs exist today in a different form and identity and tradition we must not only preserve and care, but also live. Analyzing the intangible cultural heritage of Makarska, I had a chance to briefly revive history, and to be a part of past time that needs to be kept out of oblivion.
