Dalmatian Heroines – Then and now

The story of the Dalmatian women’s heroism through history and the present is instructive, witty, and somewhat bitter-sweet. It will surely be enjoyed by every traveller that appreciates authentic over touristy experiences. Their almost forgotten destinies will surely leave a lasting impression on any interested traveler. Throughout history, defiance and distinctiveness have transformed the local women into heroines, often sacrificed in their heroic struggle for family, justice and equality. A Dalmatian woman is the soul and the essence of Dalmatian mentality, and her physical and mental strength is best described by the most famous Dalmatian saying, “a woman holds three corners of the house, while a man holds only one”. This itinerary theme is applicable to many places in Croatia, but can also be partially incorporated into any existing itinerary.
