Mrčara
island in Croatia
Mrčara is a small uninhabited island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, located west of the islands of Prežba and Lastovo in southern Dalmatia. Its highest peak is 123 m above sea level and its coastline is 7.8 km long.
A small jetty on the east coast of the island with a small seasonal restaurant services boat traffic.
In July 2011 the island hosted its first paintball game. Clear-shelled and filled paintballs were used so as not to leave any marks on the island's historical fortifications and tunnel complexes.
The island also hosts all weekend and all week Airsoft games as of July 2010.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Mrčara” is island in Croatia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Mrčara, island and Croatia, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “island in Croatia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3435331. Authority coordinates are 42.769, 16.789. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011 and 2010.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
