Stadiums with Revolutionary Designs Shaping the Future of Sports

15. Stadion Gospin Dolac – The Cliffside Fortress (Imotski, Croatia)

One of the most breathtaking stadiums in the world, Stadion Gospin Dolac sits on the edge of a dramatic cliff, overlooking a deep blue sinkhole lake. Located in the small Croatian town of Imotski, the stadium is surrounded by medieval fortress ruins, adding an ancient, almost mythical quality to its setting. Built in 1984, the stadium is home to NK Imotski, a local football club, and features a horseshoe layout with one open side offering stunning views of the Imotski Blue Lake. While small, seating just 4,000 spectators, the atmosphere here is intensely intimate—fans feel like they’re part of the rugged, mountainous landscape. Few stadiums in the world can match the sheer visual drama of Gospin Dolac.
