The Old Town fortress
The Old Town, Stari grad, is a white fortress with red-roofed towers inside earth ramparts and a moat. Its arcaded courtyard and rooms hold the City Museum: furniture, clocks, weapons and tiled stoves from five centuries.
The baroque town and Špancirfest
Around the main square stand the town hall, the cathedral and baroque palaces, and the Croatian National Theatre of 1873. At the end of August the streets fill for Špancirfest, a ten-day festival of street performers, music and crafts, with stilt walkers, gingerbread stalls and concerts in every square.
