The town stadium Gospin dolac is listed among the 10 most unusual football stadiums in the world. In explanation, authors provide data on the stadium from Imotski starting its built in 1989 with a capacity of about 4 thousand seats, situated right next to 500 m deep yawn which contains gorgeous lake. On its eastern side lies an Illyrian fortress making this complex even more unusual and magical. Named after votive church Lady of Angels / Croatian: Gospe od Anđela, situated right next to the stadium. It used to be a natural sinkhole. At the very bottom of this sinkhole was a fallow ground of 50 x 30 m in diameter where its owners used to plant vegetable crops. Only in 1974 sports agents made an initiative which consequently gave results and so commenced the preparations for the construction of a football field (land purchase, projects). The construction of the stadium started in 1976 and finished in 1987. One interesting fact about the complex regards the playground’s dam in its centre which is 43 m away from the initial lowest point of the sinkhole, meaning that the current playground dimensions have changed over the years by silting hundreds of cubic meters of dirt and rocks.
