            Narrow street in the old town of Hvar :)

Hvar is a town and port on the island of Hvar. It has a long and distinguished history as center for trade and culture in the Adriatic. A commune, part of the Venetian Empire during the 13th to 18th centuries, it was an important naval base with a strong fortress above, encircling the town walls and protecting the port. Cultural life thrived as prosperity grew, and Hvar is the site of one of the oldest surviving theatres in Europe, opened in 1612. The seven-hundred-year-old walls still survive, as do many of the noble houses and public buildings from 15th – 17th centuries. Today, the town has a variety of hotels, galleries, museums, and exhibitions, including the Arsenal, Loggia, the Croatian Institute, and the Hvar Heritage Museum with its art and archaeological collections.

Wąska uliczka na starym mieście w Hvarze :)

Miasto Hvar (greckie Pharos założone w 384 r. p.n.e., położone na dalmatyńskiej wyspie o tej samej nazwie) ma długą i znamienitą historię jako centrum handlu i kultury. W okresie od XIII do XVIII wieku miasto stanowiło część Imperium Weneckiego i było ważną bazą morską. W mieście znajdują się mury z VII w., twierdza Španjola z XVIw., najstarszy teatr miejski w Europie otwarty w 1612 roku, wiele domów i budynków użyteczności publicznej z XV-XVII wieku, muzea, galerie i wystawy. Obecnie Hvar jest popularnym kurortem turystycznym. W centrum miasteczka znajduje się niewielki port jachtowy, otoczony zabytkową zabudową, a także żwirowe i skaliste plaże. Na przedmieściach miasta znaleźć można urokliwe zatoczki. Kurort znany jest z dużej ilości restauracji, barów i dyskotek.
