TOP 10 ATTRACTIONS

Stari Grad Plain

Location: Stari Grad

Stari Grad Plain (Greek: Khora Pharu) is the best-preserved ancient Greek landscape in the Mediterranean, planted with the same grape and olive varieties as 2,400 years ago. Since 2008, it has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the old town of Stari Grad. In addition to paths and dry stone walls, the plain is distinguished for its stone houses and numerous field chapels and churches.

Petar Hektorović’s Tvrdalj

Location: Stari Grad
Opening times in the season: 10:00-14:00 and 17:00-20:00

The fortified 16th-century summer residence of the Croatian writer Petar Hektorović is the most prominent building and one of the symbols of Stari Grad. The most famous part of Tvrdalj is Ribnjak (Fishpond), a reflection of Hektorović’s favourite pastime from his most celebrated work Fishing and Fishermen’s Conversations (Ribanje i ribarsko prigovaranje).

Fortica Fort

Location: Ul. biskupa Jurja Dubokovića 80, Hvar

Hvar’s 16th-century Fortica fort (known locally as Španjola) today houses collections from antiquity and the Middle Ages. It will delight you with its architecture, but also with its unique panoramic view of the town of Hvar and the Pakleni Islands. Even the walk from the Pjaca square and the climb to the fort are special experiences.

Hvar Theatre and Arsenal

Lokacija: Trg svetog Stjepana 44, Hvar
Opening times: from 10:00 to 20:00

The Hvar Theatre is one of the first municipal theatres in Europe. It was built in 1612 on the site of the old Arsenal, a space for repairing galleys and storing naval tools. The exterior part has been preserved in its original form, and the interior dates from the 19th century.

Benedictine monastery and agave lace

Location: Kroz Grodu 13, Hvar
T: + 385 21 741 052

The Hvar agave lace is specific because of the material from which it is made and the connection with the Benedictine convent, which was founded in 1664, a legacy of the poet Hanibal Lucić. Diligent nuns extract thin white threads from fresh agave leaves and process them in a specific way for weaving. Benedictine nuns are especially fond of lace, which represents Christ the Sun and the planets that revolve around him.
