Culture of Croatia has historically been influenced by Central European, Mediterranean and Balkan cultures.[1][2][3] Croatia's unique culture and identity can be traced back to the historical llyricum. The Croatian language is believed to have been formed in the 6th or 7th century,[4] and the written language is present in Glagolitic texts from the 11th century.[5]
In terms of Croatian national emancipation, the 19th-century Illyrian movement was a significant period of national cultural history. During this movement, Croatians and saw unprecedented developments in fields of art and culture, giving rise to a number of historical figures. Most notably, Croatia has a place in the history of Mediterranean architecture and urbanism and clothing as place of origin of the cravat, a precursor of the modern necktie.
Modern and contemporary arts, music, urban, independent and youth culture in Croatia has been exceptionally growing due to numerous festivals and frequent manifestations,[6] as well as (re-)emergence of new cultural infrastructure all over Croatia.[7]

Kroz obrazovni proces podučava se da se Hrvatska nalazi na razmeđi triju kulturno-civilizacijskih krugova: Srednje Europe (Mitteleuropa), Jugoistočne Europe (Balkan) i Južne Europe (Mediteran). U njemu se naglašavaju dominantni i intenzivni utjecaji srednjoeuropskoga kulturno-civilizacijskog kruga, te najslabiji "utjecaj jugoistočnoeuropskog kulturno-civilizacijskog kruga".
