The city
Stari Grad occupies a bay on the north coast of the island of Hvar. Petar Hektorović’s Tvrdalj brings architecture and literature together, while the Stari Grad plain preserves the layout of an ancient agricultural landscape. The ferry terminal is outside the town center and should be factored into arrival and departure plans.

The local experience
The Tvrdalj of Petar Hektorović is the fortified house associated with the Renaissance poet Petar Hektorović in Stari Grad. The complex combines residential architecture, defensive elements and a garden. The visit connects the history of writing with the organization of domestic space on the island of Hvar.
The Starogradsko polje is the agricultural landscape near Stari Grad whose organization dates back to the Greek colonization of the island. Stone walls and paths mark cultivation plots. The interest lies in the persistence of this layout in land use, rather than visiting a single building.
