ABOUT HVAR
Hvar is one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean, its hillsides are covered in pine forests, vineyards, olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields.
The island climate is characterized by mild winters and warm summers with 2718 hours of sunshine so it is no wonder that the island is known as the sunniest island in Croatia.
Hvar is situated at the center of the Adriatic sailing routes, which made this island an important base for commanding trade on the Adriatic.
The deep and tame bays of the island have enabled docking and communication already in the prehistoric times, originally inhabited by Neolithic people whose distinctive pottery gave rise to the term Hvar culture, and later by the Illyrians.
In medieval times, Hvar (city) rose to importance within the Venetian Empire as a major naval base. Prosperity brought culture and the arts, with one of the first public theatres in Europe, nobles’ palaces and many fine communal buildings.
After a brief time under Napoleonic rule, the island became part of the Austrian Empire, a more peaceful and prosperous time. In 2018 Hvar celebrated 150 years of organized tourism, with a focus on the natural and historical heritage that played a crucial role for the island’s development since 1868, when the Hygienic Society was founded.
This was what encouraged further development of the tourism branch, turning Hvar into a world-famous tourist destination that it is today.
1. STARI GRAD PLAIN
Also known as Ager. This unique plain remains almost untouched as it was 384 BC when the area was colonized by the Ancient Greeks.
The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, as well as small stone shelters bearing testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division, which has remained intact over 24 centuries.
2. PROCESSION ZA KRIŽEN
This unique tradition “Following the Cross” holds a deep spiritual connection with the island’s population, dating back to the 16th century. It takes place through the night on Maundy Thursday, passing through Jelsa, Pitve, Vrisnik, Svirče, Vrbanj and Vrboska.
Each of the six groups start at their church and follow the course in a clockwise direction, meaning that the groups never meet. The group is led by one cross-bearer, while other members are dressed in white tunics.
3. BENEDICTINE NUN’S ALOE LACE
Aloe lace is made in Croatia only by Benedictine nuns in the town of Hvar. Thin, white threads are obtained from the core of fresh aloe leaves and woven into a net or other pattern on a cardboard background. The resulting pieces are a symbol of Hvar.
4. MEDITERRANEAN DIET
The tradition of a healthy lifestyle and gastronomy on island Hvar can be dated back centuries. This is not a surprise due to all the fresh fish, seafood, home grown fruit and vegetables as well as wine made from sun kissed grapes, which all play a very large role in the Dalmatian diet.
5. KLAPA SINGING
This multipart singing is an expression of the cultural identity of Dalmatia as a whole, therefore including the island of Hvar. The leader of each singing group is the first tenor, followed by several tenori, baritoni and basi voices. During performances, the singers stand in a tight semicircle.
6. STONE WALLING
The art of dry-stone walling is something that is commonly used to separate land plots. Stone walling means the assembly of stones on top of each other without the use of any connection material, except sometimes soil. Locals call it “suhozid”.

Today, it is one of the most imposing structures in the town. The theater is located on the first floor of the Arsenal which celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2012.

3. SPANISH FORTRESS – CITY HVAR
Towering way above the city of Hvar is the famous Spanish Fortress (Španjola), built in the early 16th century during the Venetian rule.

4. FRANCISCAN MONASTERY – CITY HVAR
Walking along the promenade, past the Riva, yacht harbour hotel and the catamaran dock, the Franciscan Monastery comes into view. Built in 1465, it was jointly financed by the nobles of Hvar and sea commanders as a testament to the gratitude for many lives saved at sea.
The local contribution included 1000 gold coins from Antun Lučić and his son Hanibal Lučić the famous poet which is buried under the main altar. Worth to visit also for the “Last Supper” painting by Palma the Younger which was given by the church during the Venetian rule.
5. HEKTOROVIĆ CASTLE – CITY STARI GRAD
The poet Petar Hektorović and his age are brought back to life in the Hektorović Castle, located in Stari Grad. In fact, it is a fortified Renaissance villa, with some characteristics of a monastery.

6. STARI GRAD PLAIN (HORA/AGER PHARIENSIS)
The most unusual testimony to the past which you will see in Stari Grad, leading towards the towns of Vrboska and Jelsa is the Stari Grad Plain. It was first colonized by the Greeks in the 4th century BC and remains practically intact since then.
It was one of the first forms of parcelization and it is enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, as well as small stone shelters bearing testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division.
7. THE FORTRESS CHURCH – CITY VRBOSKA
The church of St. Mary, which stands like a tall stone ship above the town, dominates Vrboska. Originally, it was quite small, but after two great Turkish invasions when Hvar, Stari Grad and Vrboska were destroyed it was transformed into a strong fortress.
It is worth climbing up the roof, where you can see how fortifications were organized. There is also a wonderful view of the town and the bay.
8. ST. LAWRENCE CHURCH – CITY VRBOSKA
Some of the most valuable works of art, such as those by Paolo Veronese from the 16th century is kept in the St. Lawrence parish church.
Many used to be stored in St. Mary’s (The Fortress Church) but were moved due to due to high relative humidity of the air in its interior, which does not provide appropriate conditions for keeping art.
9. ST. JOHN CHURCH – CITY JELSA
In the southwest extension of the modest square in Jelsa you can find a hidden gem. The Renaissance-Baroque square is worthy of admiration, but the octagonal Church of St. John is particularly notable, with its different stylistic features from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
