The humanistic atmosphere of the island, the appearance of Renaissance dramatic texts of the Hvar Literary Circle from Luci\u0107 and Hektorovi\u0107 to Pelegrinovi\u0107 and Benetovi\u0107, as well as Hvar&#8217;s strong ties with other Adriatic communes Split and Dubrovnik contributed to the construction of the communal theater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theater has been rebuilt several times since its founding, and its current appearance was given at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Since then, it has undergone a thorough restoration, and today it goes beyond the local community. The Hvar Theater is the center of some of the most important cultural events in Croatia, such as the Hvar Theater Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.otoci.eu\/hvar-znate-li-koje-je-najstarije-javno-kazaliste-u-europi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">otoci.eu<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Croatia has the honor of having one of the three oldest theaters in Europe and the first public theater ever launched on the old continent.
