The Croatian Embassy in Washington is the embassy of Croatia in Washington, D.C. It is located on Embassy Row at 2343 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest near Dupont Circle. Previously the building had been home to the Austrian embassy, but they left for larger quarters and sold the structure to Croatia in 1993. The purchase and renovation of the building was largely paid for by the Croatian-American community. In front of the embassy is a large sculpture of St. Jerome by Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović.
