Presentation of Polača

Polačaa is located in the hinterland of northern Dalmatia, behind the coastal town of Zadar, in the region known as Ravni Kotari. Its main settlement is one of the several places in Croatia bearing the name "Polačaa", and is therefore often written as Polača (Benkovac), referring to the bigger town of Benkovac, located some 10 km farther from the coast.
Polača was located right on the frontline in the Homeland War, actually forming the border with the Republic of Serbian Krajina, and suffered much devastation.

In a triangular shield on a golden yellow field, a blue palace with opened doors.
