Hvar Theatre

The Hvar Theatre opened its doors in 1612 as a space for cultural and social events, equal to all classes. Therefore, in the history of European theatres it has a special place as the first communal and the third Renaissance theatre in Europe. It was built above the Arsenal – a space used for repairing galleys and storing various nautical tools. The exterior of the theatre is mostly preserved in its original form, while the interior dates back to the 19^th century.
