Overview

This is a heritage tour, with the elements of a dark tour, which tells the story of World War II in Split. It is developed with storytelling method, which allows guests to get a better sense of the atmosphere.
You'll find out what caused of the War in this area, who were the oppressors, whose side were the citizens on and what ultimately led to the end of the War. Great emphasis is placed on the human aspect of war, while standing true to historical facts. You'll learn how the War affected the lives of ordinary people by hearing stories about fights, resistance, sacrifices and losses. In addition, you'll see where the bomb shelters were, who were the hidden heroes, what happened with the Jewish community that has been active in Split for centuries. During the tour, photographs of buildings that were damaged or destroyed will be provided. The photographs are the property of the Museum of the City of Split and are kept in the archives; but for this tour I have exclusive rights to use.

What's Included

  • Old photographs from the time of World War II, which are kept in the Museum of the City of Split. They are not in permanent display, but are kept in the archive and I have permission to use them.
  • Local licensed guide.
