Why it is worth your time
Klapa singers, traditional Dalmatian a cappella groups, often perform here, using the chamber's natural echo. As an audio stop, it works best if you slow down here: look for the stonework, the surrounding streets and the way locals move around the landmark. It gives the route a clear story beat between the postcard sights and the smaller discoveries nearby.
Croatia Atlas tip
Step inside and look up: locals know the domed acoustics are perfect for a single voice.
