Why it is worth your time

Beneath a single grand arch, Venetian galleys once sailed in for repair. Upstairs, in 1612, the citizens of Hvar opened a theatre where noble and commoner sat side by side, among the first in Europe to do so. Step into the velvet auditorium and imagine four centuries of applause.
