Muć is tucked away in the heart of the Dalmatian Zagora, between the mountains of Svilaja and Moseć. The town holds immense historical value: in Muć Gornji, a stone fragment from Prince Branimir's time, dated 888 AD, was discovered, serving as one of the most vital records of early Croatian history. The area was inhabited since Roman times, as evidenced by the remains of milestones along the ancient road from Salona to Servitium. The landscape is characterized by the rugged karst of the Zagora, with wide pastures and stony slopes. Today, Muć remains a center for livestock and agriculture, proudly preserving folk customs such as the 'Nijemo Kolo' (Silent Circle Dance), which is recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. For nature lovers, the area provides peaceful hiking trails on Mount Svilaja and a chance to experience authentic Dalmatian village life away from the coastal crowds.
