There are so many places that I want to visit in Croatia that one trip is probably not enough to see all of them. I definitely want to visit Stari Grad one day.
When visiting this city one has the possibility to discover an old city and its beautiful historical center and also Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO site, one of the hardest of the croatian sites to get cards from, even if you manage to go to Stari Grad, it won't be easy to get cards, that's what Agata said. Fortunately she found a few showing not only the city but also the plain. That was in 2014 and a couple of weeks ago I got another card from this city sent by Theresa.

Stari Grad is a town on the northern side of the island of Hvar in Dalmatia, Croatia. One of the oldest towns in Europe, its position at the end of a long, protected bay and next to prime agricultural land, has long made it attractive for human settlement. Stari Grad is also a municipality within the Split-Dalmatia County.
The most ancient part of Stari Grad falls within the UNESCO Protected World Heritage Site of the Stari Grad Plain, while the entire municipality lies within the surrounding buffer zone. - in: wikipedia
The Church of St. Stephen stands on the eastern side of a small square, Trg sv. Stjepana (St. Stephen’s Square), in the historical centre of Stari Grad. It was built from 1605 onward at the site of an earlier church also dedicated to the martyred Pope Stephen I.
The bell tower stands apart from the church. The inscription above its door indicates that it was completed in 1753.
