Čavoglave, Rural settlement in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia.
Located between the mountains Svilaja and Moseća at 420 meters elevation, Čavoglave spreads across 21.7 square kilometers of Dalmatian terrain near the Čikola river source.
The settlement remained unoccupied during the 1991 Croatian War of Independence, with many local residents participating in defense against Krajina Serb forces.
The Church of Croatian Martyrs stands as a memorial structure dedicated to soldiers and civilians who lost their lives during the Croatian War of Independence.
The D56 highway passes along the southern edge of the settlement, connecting residents to neighboring municipalities while maintaining the characteristic isolation of rural Croatia.
The settlement holds annual commemorative concerts during Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day, attracting visitors from across the region to this small mountain community.
