Moreška
Dance
Lazy Kor
č
ula snaps to life when locals perform a medieval folk dance called the
Moreška
(moh-REHSH-kah). The plot helps Kor
č
ulans remember their hard-fought past: A bad king
takes the good king's bride, the dancing forces of good and evil battle, and there's always a
happy ending.

Great Land Gate (Veliki Revelin)
A noble staircase leads up to the main entrance to the Old Town. Like all of the town's
towers, it's adorned with the Venetian winged lion and the coats of arms of the doge of
Venice (left) and the rector of Kor
č
ula (right; the offset coat of arms below was the rector
who later renovated the gate). Climb the tower (find the stairs around the left side) to visit
a small exhibit with costumes and photos from the
Moreška
dance, then head up to the top
level to enjoy panoramic town views.
