The Hvar Theater, founded in 1612, is one of the first municipal theaters in Europe. It was built on the old Arsenal - a space for repairing galleys and storing various nautical tools. The exterior of the theater has mostly been preserved in its original form, while the beautiful interior dates from the 19th century

Am honored to learn the great history of this place. Of how this theatre helped in a big way to bridge cultural and class differences being experienced back in the days. The interior decoration and arrangement of this location is mind wobbling. The lively aura of the music from the performances in the theatre is so relaxing and refreshing. I got a chance to see the backstage of the performances and it was superb.

I loved the historical exhibitions in the Theater.The Roman architectural structure of the theatre is mind blowing especially the mix of old and modern architectural buildings here. It was delighting to set my eyes on the different types of old age weapons. I also took some photos in the arsenal to remember my tour. The boatyard display of the theater makes this tour to this place worthwhile.
