history

Ričice was already settled in Roman times, excavations have found a relief of " Dionysus with company" from the 2nd century. In the 15th century, Duke Stjepan Vukčić Kosača ruled this area . During his reign the name Rieachi (Ricice) is mentioned for the first time (1454) in a document .

In 1493 the whole area around Imotski (Croatian: Imotska Krajina ) fell into the hands of the Turks together with Ricice. Most of the residents of Ricice fled to Kucice and Svinisce.

It was not until 1717 that Imotski was freed from the Turks with the help of Venice and Gospe od Anđela. After the liberation, Imotska Krajina and Ricice are firmly incorporated into Dalmatia .

Even after that this area did not come to rest, in 1806 Napoleon conquered Dalmatia.

After the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15, the entire area fell to Austria . As a result, Dalmatia was a crown land of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy .

After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Dalmatia became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1919 .

After a short phase as the Independent State of Croatia from 1941 to 1945 ( 85 residents of Ričice died in World War II , 56 of them as members of the Croatian Wehrmacht and 7 as partisans ), socialist Yugoslavia followed with Tito as dictators.

It was not until 1991 that Croatia, and thus Dalmatia, became independent with Franjo Tuđman as the first democratically elected president .
