Hvar Theatre, founded in 1612, is considered the first public civic theatre in Europe open to all social classes, not just nobility. It was built above the Arsenal building used for repairing Venetian war galleys. This historical significance makes it one of Croatia's most important cultural landmarks. Today it primarily functions as a museum and exhibition space with occasional performances during the Hvar Summer Festival. The ticket includes historical exhibits and access to the original theatrical space. The combined ticket at EUR 15 also covers Fortica fortress, loggia, and clock tower
