Korcula is one of those rare places in the Mediterranean which has for centuries cultivated ancient chivalrous dances, such as moreska, kumpanija and mostra, whose rules were described in medieval statutes.

Dressed in brightly coloured fiery red and frightening black costumes, two opposed armies are fighting before you for the affection of a young lady. While their swords, their war cries and the nimble movements of their feet echo in the town squares adorned by buildings made from the white stone of Korcula, stop the clock for a moment and become part of their song.
