The area of Makarska was inhabited by the Illyrians. The city appeares in the Tabula Peutingeriana as the port of Inaronia, but is mentioned as Muccurum in a document of the synod held in the Salona (533), when also the town’s diocese was made. In the seventh century the region between rivers Cetina and Neretva was occupied by the Slavs, who established the Neretva Principality, with Makarska as its administrative centre. The doge of Venice Pietro I Candiano, whose Venetian fleet intended to punish the piratesque activities of the city’s vessels, was defeated here on September 18, 877.
The principality was annexed to the Dominion of Croatia in the 12th century, and was conquered by the Republic of Venice a century later . In the latter 15th century the Ottomans conquered Makarska (cited by this name for the 1st time in 1502), surrounding it with walls provided with 3 towers, not vanished. After the return under the Venetian aegis from 1646, it was given to the Austrians by the Treaty of Campo Formio (1797). In 1805-1815 it was under French rule, which brought cultural, social and economic development. The Congress of Vienna allotted Makarska to Austria-Hungary, in which it stayed until 1918.
In the early 20th century agriculture, trade and fishing remained the anchor of economy. In 1914 the first hotel was built, beginning the tourism tradition in the area.
