Dobro došli na još jedan od naših zajedničkih letova.

Ljeti se sve doima opuštenije pa se i mi lakše odlučujemo na putovanje do nekoga privlačnoga grada ili zemlje u koju smo dugo sanjali otići. Najtoplije doba godine uvijek nam nudi i obilje zanimljivih događaja, a ovoga ljeta dva su nezaobilazna - Europsko nogometno prvenstvo te Olimpijske igre.

Ne sumnjamo da ćete ih barem djelomično pratiti u nekome od odredišta koje ste odabrali za svoj godišnji odmor, a možda ćete se zaputiti baš do Pariza ili Rio de Janeira. Ako ste odabrali naš zrakoplov za svoj put, ili za dio puta do vaše željene destinacije, to nas iskreno raduje.

Ovog ljeta nudimo vam i četiri nova odredišta - Lisabon, Sankt Peterburg, Prag i Milano. Sve su to prelijepi gradovi koji mame da ih posjetimo. U prošlom broju našega časopisa pisali smo o kulturnoj baštini i ljepotama Milana, a sada vam predstavljamo Lisabon, uvijek atraktivan grad koji jednako dinamično živi danju kao i u vrućim ljetnim noćima.

Razumljivo, u ovom broju našega časopisa ne možemo preskočiti zanimljivosti vezane uz Olimpijske igre. Razgovarali smo s briljantnom hrvatskom atletičarkom, ali i našom putnicom, Sandrom Perković, vrhunskom sportašicom iz čijih ruku disk leti do neslućenih daljina.

Kao uvijek, predstavljamo vam i različite ljepote naše zemlje, od kojih su neke mnogima još i danas malo poznate ili neotkrivene. Pozivamo vas da posjetite mali otok Vrnik, u kanalu koji razdvaja Korčulu od izduženoga pelješkog poluotoka te da istražite njegove osobitosti i ljepote.

Pišemo i o Lastovu te o njegovom fascinantnom podmorju, a ponosni smo i što je grad Zadar, do kojega vas vode i naši zrakoplovi, portal European Best Destinations proglasio najboljim turističkim odredištem za 2015. godinu.

Aktualni podaci pokazuju da sve više putnika bira našu kompaniju za put do svojih odredišta. Zahvaljujemo vam na tome i već se unaprijed radujemo svakome budućem zajedničkom letu. Želim vam ugodne trenutke, ma kamo letjeli!

Dear passengers,

A. GrubeliÊ - Zadar

Poπtovani put­ni­ci!

We have no doubts that, at least to a certain extent, you will be involved in these events during your vacation, or maybe you will even decide to travel to Paris or Rio de Janeiro to see them first-hand.

We are delighted you have chosen our aircraft for your travels, at least in part, to your final destination.

This summer, we are offering four new destinations Lisbon, St. Petersburg, Prague and Milan. These are all amazing cities, enticing us to visit them. In the last issue of our magazine, we wrote about the cultural heritage and the beauty of Milan, and now we are presenting Lisbon, an always attractive city where life is equally dynamic during the day as in the hot summer nights. Understandably, in this issue of our magazine, we could not disregard some interesting facts related to the Olympic Games. We talked with brilliant Croatian athlete and our passenger, Sandra Perković; from the hand of this top athlete, the discus flies an incredible distance.

As always, we write about the various beauties of our country, some of which are still poorly-known or completely undiscovered. We invite you to visit the small island of Vrnik, located in the channel that separates Korčula from the elongated Pelješac peninsula, and explore its wonders and beauty.

We also write about Lastovo and its fascinating underwater world. We are proud that the city of Zadar, to which you can fly via Croatia Airlines, has been declared as the best tourist destination in 2015, by the European Best Destinations portal.

Current data show that an increasing number of travellers choose our company for their travels. We sincerely thank you for that and are already looking forward to welcoming you on our flights in the future.

I wish you many pleasant moments, wherever you decide to fly!

Welcome to another one of our many flights together.

In summer, everything seems more relaxed and it is easier for us to decide to travel to some attractive city or country that we had long dreamed of visiting. The warmest time of year always offers plenty of interesting events, and this summer, there are two which are unavoidable - the European Football Championship and the Olympic Games.

Vaš, Sincerely yours,

ok običan svijet jedva čeka ljeto da pođe na odmor, ona, nema sumnje, jedva čeka kolovoz, ali ne odmora radi. Dok drugi s nestrpljenjem čekaju sunce i more, ona s nestrpljenjem čeka onaj tren kada će ugaziti na atletsku stazu Olimpijskog stadiona u Riju, uzeti disk u ruke, ući u krug za bacanje i baciti ga daleko, najdalje što se može. Olimpijske igre i olimpijska pobjednica, istinska kraljica kraljice sportova, Sandra Perković - olimpijska, svjetska i trostruka europska prvakinja u bacanju diska. A tek joj je 26 godina! U Rio de Janeiro leti ne bi li obranila olimpijsko zlato osvojeno prije četiri godine u Londonu.  Sve će oči biti uprte u Vas, jer ako se na išta vrijedi kladiti, onda se vrijedi kladiti na to da ćete, baš kao i uvijek, dati sve od sebe, svoj maksimum. A maksimum, po pravilu, kad ste Vi posrijedi, znači medalju.

- Istina je da jedva čekam kolovoz i početak Olimpijskih Igara u Riju. To je nešto za što se ne sprema samo jednu godinu, ili četiri godine, nego se cijeli život pripremate i radite za taj svoj san. Vrteći unatrag film iz Londona, Olimpijske su igre za mene ostale u pamćenju u najboljem svjetlu. Velika manifestacija, puno ljudi, cijeli svijet koji živi samo sport. Imam čast braniti zlato iz Londona i mogu reći da osjećam lagani pritisak, ali i veliki motiv da ondje baš budem najbolja kao nikada do sada. Na svakom natjecanju dajem maksimum maksimuma, ali osobit je osjećaj ući u krug pod hrvatskim grbom i znati da se borite za sve nas Hrvate. U meni se tad pojavljuje osobita moć i ponos koji me gura naprijed.  Naučili ste navijače na uspjehe, niz je medalja impresivan, a godina imate taman toliko da im, bude li zdravlja, priuštite još veselja. Jesu li ta velika očekivanje teret ili poticaj? Kako se 8

CROATIA AIRLINES

nosite sa stresom što ga donose velika natjecanja?

- Kao što sam spomenula, uvijek osjećam lagani pritisak, ali pozitivan pritisak. Tada glava i tijelo rade kao jedno i imaju jedan cilj; biti najbolji baš kada se to od mene najviše očekuje.

Za svako veliko natjecanje tempiram formu, potrudim se da baš ondje dam sve od sebe, budem najbolja i učinim nas sve ponosnima.

Obožavam velika natjecanja i pune stadione.

Znam da tad moji vjerni navijači navijaju za mene iz petnih žila.  Sezonu ste otvorili maestralno, hicem iz Splita dugim 70.59 metara. Čini li Vam se, možda, da je ovo ta godina kad biste mogli napasti i onaj nestvarno velik svjetski rekord iz 1988. godine istočnonjemačke atletičarke Gabriele Reinsch?

- Mislim da je sada prerano govoriti o svjetskom rekordu, jer to je rekord koji stoji već 28 godina i prema njemu treba imati veliki respekt. Želja mi je jednoga se dana približiti tome rekordu, ili ga, u najboljem slučaju, prebaciti. To je jedan od ciljeva koje želim ispuniti u svojoj karijeri. Hitac iz Splita od 70.59 metara naviješta da bi ova sezona za mene mogla biti sezona iz snova. Nikada bolje nisam otvorila sezonu te se nadam, ako nastavim u ovom smjeru, da bi moj disk ove godine mogao odletjeti na daljine na kojima do sada nije bio.  Vratimo se na početak. Nije, naime, baš uobičajeno da se djevojčice počnu baviti bacačkim atletskim disciplinama. Što je prevagnulo? Kako Vas je Vaš trener, na žalost preminuli Ivan Ivančić, natjerao na to?

- Atletikom sam se počela baviti u drugom razredu osnovne škole, programom Atletika u školama. Uz to sam trenirala odbojku i košarku, ali ljubav prema individualnom sportu bila je jača od svega pa sam odabrala atletiku, kraljicu sportova. Probala sam sve discipli-

ne, u početku sam trčala i skakala udalj, ali poslije sam se opredijelila za bacanja. Kada sam uzela disk u ruke, bila je to ljubav na prvi pogled. Moj najdraži Ivančić nije me imao potrebe tjerati, jer od početka moje karijere predvidio je moje uspjehe. Na prvom treningu bacila sam disk 30 metara, a on je rekao da ću već na ljeto bacati 50 metara daleko. Isprva mu nisam povjerovala, ali kada sam to uistinu ostvarila, više nije bilo sumnje, metri su išli samo gore. Na žalost, Ivančića više nema, ali zauvijek će biti u našim srcima, jer on je moju ljubav prema sportu okrunio prvim hrvatskim ženskim zlatom na Ljetnim olimpijskim igrama.  Nema dobrog rezultata bez predanog treninga. Jeste li ikad poželjeli ostaviti disk jer činilo Vam se da Vaše vršnjakinje žive lakše, bezbrižnije? Koji je bio onaj prijelomni trenutak kada ste, ako ne znali ono makar naslutili, da ste veliki talent i da je pred Vama velika karijera?

- Iskreno ću Vam reći, nikada nisam pomislila ostaviti se sporta, jer sport je moj način života.

Još u vrtiću išla sam u sportsku grupu. Uvijek sam, preko svih sportova koje sam prolazila, dobivala samo najbolje kritike od svojih trenera, a kada sam se počela ozbiljno baviti atletikom, znala sam da ću napraviti nešto veliko. Mislim da sam se rodila s talentom za bacanje diska, a napornim radom, voljom i trudom postigla sam ovo što sada jesam.  Od svih osvojenih medalja, od svih daljina do kojih ste dobacili disk, koja Vam je titula, koji Vam je hitac osobito drag i zašto? Ili će se taj hitac tek dogoditi?

- Najdraža titula definitivno mi je titula olimpijske pobjednice, a najdraži mi je hitac s europskog prvenstva iz Züricha dug 71.08 metara. Želja mi je da se najdraža titula i najvažniji hitac sjedine i dogode baš u Riju.  Vaš trener Edis Elkasović i Vaš je životni partner. Je li ponekad teško odvojiti ljubav od posla? Kako Vam to uspijeva?

- Od prvog dana uspijevamo oboje. Reći ću Vam samo jedno, mene je moja majka odmalena učila da svoj posao radim s ljubavlju, I eto, poslušala sam je, jer nema bolje veze od one kada zajednički stvaramo i ostvarujemo svoje snove, bodrimo i poštujemo jedno drugoga.

Mislim da smo Edis i ja dobitna kombinacija za ovo što radimo.  Usudio bih se reći kako ste, kad su ženske bacačke atletske discipline posrijedi, razbili još poneku predrasudu.

U onom krugu za bacanje možda i jeste zvijer, ali izvan stadiona često pokazujete suštu eleganciju. Tenisica ili štikla, Vama je svejedno.

- Hvala na komplimentu. Uživam u svojem tijelu, nije bitno jesu li tenisice ili štikle, volim

kada se dobro osjećam, volim se urediti, jer prije svega žena sam. Veoma mi je važno da imam život i izvan sporta. Mislim da je to za sportaše osobito važno, da maknu misli s teških i jakih treninga, da se opuste i uživaju i u nečemu drugome.  Kakvi su odnosi u bacačkom svijetu?

Stigne li se na svim tim turnirima ostvariti kakvo prijateljstvo među sportašima, atletičarkama i atletičarima?

- Među normalnim ljudima uvijek ima prijateljstva. Naše druženje, što se međunarodne scene tiče, počinje u svibnju i završava u listopadu, što je gotovo pola godine. Međusobno dijelimo i lijepe i loše životne trenutke. Imam krug dragih bacača i bacačica te drugih sportaša koje jedva čekam ponovno vidjeti i družiti se s njima. Uvijek je ljepše raditi u pozitivnoj atmosferi nego negativnoj.  Odnedavno ste zastupnica u Hrvatskom saboru. Za to ste se kao vrhunska sportašica izborili na parlamentarnim izborima. Za što ćete se ponajviše zalagati?

- Vrijeme je da mladi pokažu što znaju i izbore se za svoja prava. Želim im pokazati da se kontinuiranim radom može daleko dogurati i da ima života i u Hrvatskoj. Hrvatska je zemlja puna talenata u svim područjima i treba učiniti sve da se ti talenti razviju i budu svima na korist.  Pripreme za Rio jamačno su žestoke.

Kakav je Vaš radni dan? Koliko je u njemu sklekova, trbušnjaka, podignutih kilograma, pretrčanih kilometara? Stignete li se posvetiti još čemu osim atletike?

- Pripreme za Rio veoma su teške. Moj svaki radni dan počinje buđenjem u osam sati i doručkom te odlaskom na prvi trening, onaj u 10 sati, trening bacanja i trčanja. Ujutro na treningu bacam od 60 do 90 hitaca i imitacija, pretrčim tri do četiri kilometra, što za zagrijavanje, što u dionicama. Nakon toga odlazim kući, tuširam se i ručam. Slijedi popodnevni odmor koji traje sat do sat i pol. Popodnevni trening počinje nešto malo prije 17 sati, a radi se na snazi i izdržljivosti. Dnevno u teretani dignem oko dvije, tri tone utega. Popodnevni trening često traje između dva i pol, tri sata bez oporavka. Poslije završetka imam oporavak koji traje sat do dva, a onda idem kući.

Tako završava moj radni dan. I tako 365 dana u godini. No, mogu se pohvaliti da stignem gotovo sve. Jer, kako volim reći, sve se može ako se hoće.  Ljeto. Rio. Olimpijska ste pobjednica koja ide u obranu titule. Možemo li već sada kazati kako ćemo Vas vidjeti ondje gdje Vam i jest mjesto, na pobjedničkom postolju!?

- Ne volim nikada govoriti unaprijed, ali mogu obećati kako ću dati sve od sebe da budem najbolja kada se to od mene najviše očekuje. 

hile ordinary people can hardly wait for their summer holiday, there is no doubt she can hardly wait until August, but not because of a break.

While others are impatiently looking forward to sunshine and the sea, she is eager for the moment she will tread on the tarmac of the Olympic Stadium in Rio, take a discus into her hands, step into the throwing circle and throw it far, as far as she can. The Olympic Games and an Olympic winner, the true queen of sports, Sandra Perković - Olympic, world and triple European champion discus thrower.

And she is only 26! She is flying to Rio in order to defend her Olympic gold, which she won four years ago in London  All eyes will be on you, because if anything is worth betting on, it is that you will do your best and give a maximum performance, as you always do, which in your case, usually results in a medal.

- It is true I can hardly wait for August and the beginning of the Olympics in Rio. It is something one does not prepare for in just a year, or even four years, but you prepare and work your entire life in order to achieve this dream. Thinking back to London, I have the best possible memories of the Olympics - a major event, lots of people, an entire world living only for sports. I have the honor of defending my gold medal from London, and I can say I feel slight pressure, but also a great drive to be better than ever. I give it my all in each competition, but it is a special feeling to step into the circle representing Croatia and know that I am competing for all of us Croats.

That is when a particular strength and pride

awakens inside me and pushes me forward.  You have gotten your fans used to victories, and your medal-winning streak is impressive, not to mention you are still young enough to make them even happier for some years to come. Are these expectations people have of you a big burden or is it a motivating force? How do you cope with the stress of major competitions?

-Like I said, I always feel slight pressure, but it is a positive pressure. That is when the head and the body work in unison towards a common goal - being the best exactly when it is expected of me the most. I pace myself for each major competition, and I do my best to excel at each one and to make everyone proud. I love major competition and packed stadiums. I know my devoted fans cheer me on with all they have, too.  You have started out the season perfectly, with a 70.59 meter throw in Split. Do you think this is the year you could break the incredible world record set in 1988 by East German athlete Gabriele Reinsch?

- I think it is too early to talk about the world record now because it has been held for 28 years and is something to be admired. My wish is to come close to it someday, or even beat it in the best case scenario. This is one of the goals I want to fulfill by the end of my career. The 70.59 meter throw from Split is an indication that this season could be my dream season. I have never had a better season opening, and if it continues, I hope my discus will fly distances it has never flown before.  Let’s go back to the beginning. It’s not common for girls to take up throwing sports. What was the determining factor for you? How did your coach, the late Ivan Ivančić, talk you into it?

- I took up athletics in the second grade of

CROATIA AIRLINES

9

elementary school through the Athletics in Schools Program. Apart from that, I also played volleyball and basketball, but the love for individual sports was stronger, so I picked athletics, the queen of all sports. I tried all of the disciplines; I started with running and the long jump, but I later switched to throwing.

When I first put a discus in my hands, it was love at first touch. My favorite coach, Ivančić, did not have to talk me into anything; he predicted I would be a success from the very beginning. In my first training session, I threw the discus 30 meters, and he said I would be throwing 50 by that summer. At first, I did not believe him, but when I actually did do it, I had no more doubt and the meters just kept accumulating. Unfortunately, Ivančić is gone, but he will remain in my heart forever, because he crowned my love of the sport when I was the first female to get a gold medal for Croatia in the summer Olympic Games.  Good results are impossible without dedicated training. Have you ever wanted to leave the discus throw because you got the feeling your peers were living an easier and more carefree existence?

At what moment did you finally realize, or at least hope, that you were a great talent and that you had a great career ahead of you?

- Honestly, I never considered leaving sports, because that is who I am to the core. I joined a sports group back in kindergarten. I’ve always gotten only the best feedback from coaches in any sport I’ve tried, and when I seriously took up athletics, I knew I would achieve great things. I think I was born with the talent to throw the discus, and I have achieved what I am with hard work, persistence and effort.  Of all the medals you have won, of 10

CROATIA AIRLINES

all the distances you have thrown the discus, which title and which throw are you particularly proud of and why? Or is that throw yet to come?

- My favorite title is definitely the title of Olympic champion, and my favorite throw is the 71.08 meter one from the World Championships in Zurich. My hope is that my favorite title and favorite throw occur simultaneously in Rio.  Your coach, Edis Elkasović, is also your life partner. Is it sometimes difficult to separate love from business? How do you achieve this?

- We’ve been succeeding at both from day one. As a child, my mother used to say that I should do my job with love, and I listened to her, because the best relationship is when people create something together - realize their dreams, support and respect each other.

I think Edis and I are a perfect combination for what we do.  When it comes to female athletics, I dare say you break prejudices. You might be a beast in the throwing circle, but outside it, you often show pure elegance. Sneakers or high heels, it’s all the same to you.

- Thank you for the compliment. I enjoy my body, and regardless of whether I’m wearing sneakers or high heels, I like to feel good and I like to dress up because I am, above all, a woman. Having a life outside sports is very important to me. I think it is particularly important for athletes to give themselves a break from the daily grind of difficult training in order to relax and enjoy something else.  What are the relationships like in the throwing world? Do athletes manage to develop friendships at the numerous tournaments?

- There have always been friendships among normal people. As far as the international scene goes, our socializing begins in May and ends in October, which is a period of almost half a year. We share the good and the bad that life brings us. I have a circle of throwers that are dear to me, as well as other athletes who I always look forward to seeing again and hanging out with. It is always nicer to work in a positive atmosphere, rather than a negative one.  You have recently become a member of the Croatian Parliament, a position you won as an elite athlete at the latest parliamentary elections. What issues will you mostly be focusing on? What will you advocate for?

- It’s time the youth showed what they know and for young people to fight for their rights. I want to show them that continued work can take them a long way and that there is life in Croatia. Croatia is a country full of talent in all fields, and a lot has to be done in order for that talent to develop and be of use to anyone.  Preparations for Rio must be fierce.

What does your workday look like? How many pushups, sit-ups, barbells lifted and kilometers crossed during a run does it consist of? Do you have time to dedicate yourself to anything else but athletics?

- Preparations for Rio are very difficult. Each day begins with me waking up at 8, eating breakfast and going to my 10 a.m. training session, which consists of throwing and running. I do 60 to 90 throws and imitations during my morning training; I run three-to-four kilometers, partly as warm-up and partly in intervals. After that, I go home to shower and eat lunch. Then, it is time for my afternoon rest, which lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. Afternoon training starts just before 5 p.m., and it consists of strength and stamina exercises.

I lift between two and three tons of weights every day. Afternoon training lasts between two and a half and three hours without a break. After training, I have two or three hours of recovery time and then, I go home. That is the end of my workday. And it continues like that 365 days a year. However, I can say I get to do almost everything, because anything can be done when one is persistent.  The summer. Rio. You are an Olympic champion defending the title. Is it too presumptuous to say that we already see you where you belong - on the winner’s podium?

- I don’t like to think that far ahead, but I can promise I will do everything in my power to be the best when it is expected of me the most. 

oo many usable items that leave observers indifferent have raised the idea of creating the permanent identity. prostoria was created from the desire to transmit the love for the aesthetics into an item that will cause reactions from the criticism as it has knowledge, experience and great enthusiasm and affection built in it. We consider the aesthetics as a basic human need, aware that every item is a subject to particular criticism of taste. We are also fully aware that through this criticism it is necessary to acknowledge not only eye catching images, but also the category of practical, functional and innovative.

Every our product is innovative. Some in the conceptual, others in technological way and some are focused, and in such clear and direct way they make the impression that there is no doubt in their positive and honest attitude towards the user.

Every our product is functional. The form of our products follows their function. Every product is subject to change in its attempt to get better.

Every our new project is a new challenge. We look forward to it with the same enthusiasm.

We want every our product to bring smile to the user by its appearance and quality. That is our basic premise.

reviše uporabnih predmeta koji ostavljaju ravnodušnog promatrača rezultiralo je idejom o stvaranju trajnog identiteta. prostoria je nastala kroz tu želju da se ljubav prema estetici pretoči u predmet koji će izazvati reakcije kritike jer u njega je utkano znanje, iskustvo i na kraju golem entuzijazam i ljubav.

Estetiku smatramo osnovnom ljudskom potrebom, svjesni da je svaki predmet podložan kritici ukusa, ali isto tako svjesni da treba pojmiti ne samo oku ugodne slike, nego i kategoriju praktičnoga, funkcionalnoga i inovativnoga.

Svaki je naš proizvod inovativan. Neki u idejnom, drugi u tehnološkom, a neki proizvodi rezultat su promišljanja već postojećih klasika, te tako na jasan i neposredan način ostavljaju dojam da ne postoji nikakva sumnja u njihov pozitivan i iskren stav prema korisniku.

Svaki je naš proizvod funkcionalan. Forma naših proizvoda prati njihovu funkciju. Svaki proizvod podložan je mijeni u težnji da bude bolji.

Svaki naš novi projekt jest i novi izazov.

Veselimo mu se s jednakim entuzijazmom. Želimo da naš proizvod svojim izgledom i kvalitetom nanovo izmami osmijeh svoga korisnika. To nam je osnovna premisa.

Jedan od parkova prirode u Hrvatskoj, Lastovsko otočje, čuva mnoga prirodna bogatstva. Osobito podmorje Lastova u svojim bistrim dubinama čuva ekološke sustave, koji su među najočuvanijima na Jadranu.

As one of Croatia’s nature parks, the Lastovo Archipelago is home to many natural treasures. In particular, the crystal-clear depths of Lastovo’s seabed are the habitat of eco-systems, which are among the most well-preserved in the Adriatic Sea.

to je dalje, to je očuvanije. Iako to predstavlja teškoće u prometu, na udaljenijim jadranskim otocima sačuvala se mediteranska duša, izbjegao masovni turizam i pretjerana urbanizacija. Lastovsko otočje razasuto je u južnom Jadranu, petnaestak kilometara južno od Korčule. Najveći je i središnji otok Lastovo, no tu je još četrdesetak otoka, otočića, grebena, usidrenih na palagruškome podmorskom pragu koji se iz dubine izdiže između plićeg Jadrana na sjeveru i vrlo 18

duboke južnojadranske zavale. Najzapadniji i najudaljeniji od svih jest Sušac, slijedi zapadno otočje, istočno uz Lastovo otočna je skupina Lastovnjaci, a još istočnije Vrhovnjaci. Neki od njih samo su gole kamene kape koje tek malo vire iznad mora, zapljuskuju ih valovi i na udaru su vjetra, tek s pokojim čuperkom žilave biljke.

Krš ovdje izranja iz mora te stvara brojna uzvišenja, od kojih su neka gole stijene. To se dobro vidi sa 417 metara visokog Huma, najvišeg vrha otoka Lastova. S vrha se vide i pi-

tome udoline usred krškog krajolika, nastale u nepropusnim zonama dolomita, ali i s pijeskom koji su donijeli vjetrovi, po čemu je jedinstven u našem kršu. Tu su vrijedni otočani podignuli mala polja maslinika, vinograda i povrća. Da bi se polja natapala, a blago pojilo, sagradili su mnoge lokve, male oaze gdje žeđ gase i mnoge divlje životinje, a neke su stalni stanari, poput zelenih žaba, zmija ili kukaca. Na brdo se poput loze raspuzao grad Lastovo, čiji se drevni kameni zidovi ispod crvenih krovova blistaju na podnevnome mediteranskom suncu. Gotovo svaki krov diči se fumarom, dimnjakom, čiji maštoviti oblici nadmašuju jedan drugog. U spomen na obranu otoka od napada tamnoputih pljačkaša u 15. stoljeću, Lastovci svake godine na pokladni utorak spaljuju slamnatog crnog lutka.

No ostatak je otoka, osim naselja, uglavnom pod šumom kojoj pogoduje klima masline − s mnogo sunca ljeti te blagim, kišovitim zimama. Šuma je, istina, u prvome redu makija hrasta crnike i alepskog bora. Osobito se u njoj ističu ukusni, narančasti do jarkocrveni plodovi planike, koji je ovdje čest grm, nalik na lovor. Svaki čas zašušte gušterice, no ne treba se bojati zmija otrovnica jer ih ovdje nema. Utjecaj klime, pučinska osama, neobično duboko tlo, obilje sunca, ali i noćna vlaga daju Lastovu i cijelom otočju veliku prirodnu vrijednost. Zabilježeno je 810 vrsta biljaka. Među njima su endemične vrste, poput trave trsoveza, koja raste samo na Lastovu.

S Huma i ostalih vrhova vide se i uvale, iako otok nije razveden kao ostatak našeg dijela Jadrana. Ipak, more se duboko proširuje u uvale poput Skrivene luke, a osobito obližnje Uske uvale, koja prije nalikuje na sićušni fjord.

Suprotnost su strme i visoke obale u čijem podnožju more klokoće u potkapinama i špiljama, nastalim stalnim djelovanjem valova. Na osamljenim hridima takve morske špilje živjela je prije i sredozemna medvjedica, no ipak, poneki susreti otočana s bivšom stanarkom daju nadu u njezin povratak. Otočje se diči

čak i pješčanom plažom na otoku Saplunu.

Kad hirovito more dopusti odlazak dvadesetak kilometara zapadno od Lastova, dolazi se brodom do stjenovite utvrde usred mora otoka Sušca. Oskudno tlo, jaki vjetrovi i malo kiše omogućuju opstanak samo 278 vrsta, no u ekstremnim uvjetima kriju se uvijek i endemi. Sušac ih tako ima osam, od kojih se ističe sušačka vrzina na pukotinama obalnih stijena. Osim biljaka, tu je stanište vrlo zanimljivim pticama − cjevonosnicama, skupini kojoj pripada i poznati albatros. Ime su dobile po cjevastom završetku nosa, kroz koji mogu izbacivati morsku sol. Ovdje se gnijezde gregula i kaukal. To su prave ptice mora jer, osim za gniježđenja, gotovo ne dodiruju kopno.

Gregula u letu djeluje kao leteći križ jer krila drži pod pravim kutom. Leti veoma nisko, a vrhovima krila gotovo dodiruje vodu. Hrani se ribom i mekušcima, pa često prati ribarske brodove. Otočje je vrlo važno i za sredozemne galebove, a ovdje ih je čak 70 posto populacije u Hrvatskoj. Manji su, tamnozelenih nogu, crvenog prstena oko oka i crvenog kljuna, pred čijim krajem je tanka okomita crna pruga.

U jesen, na liticama stražari eleonorin sokol, neobično tamne boje. Čeka umorne ptičice koje su u selidbi na jug u prolazu ili nastoje predahnuti na otoku.

Mnogi ipak smatraju da je pravo blago Lastovskog otočja ispod površine mora. Treba zaroniti u kristalno bistro more gdje se otvara prava predstava života − bogata oblicima i bojama. U pukotinama stijena skrivaju se hobotnice, a sipe se, maskirane u okoliš, provlače uz dno. Na hridinastu dnu Lastova česti su brkati jastog, hlap, kuke, rijetke vrste puževa, poput tritonove trube i prugaste mitre. Uz dno se često nalaze nepokretna škrpina, ribu love zubatac i gof, iz zasjede vrebaju ugor, murina i još mnoge ribe. Otvorenim morem krstare tune, sabljani, nekoliko vrsta dupina (najčešće obični, glavati i dobri) te morske kornjače (glavata i zelena želva).

Lastovsko podmorje obogaćuje mnoštvo

uvala, pličina, dubina i morskih grebena, podmorskih kanjona i skrivenih prolaza. No možda su najveće tajne skrivene na većim dubinama Sušca, kamo sunce jedva dopire, a vlada plavozelena monotonija. Svjetiljka vraća boje i oživljava predivne žute i crvene šume gorgonija, crvenih i ostalih koralja, uz koje plove jata riba, što je u Jadranu sve rjeđa slika. Devedesetak pojedinačnih vrsta koralja te onih koje žive u zajednici u Jadranu ubrajaju se u skupinu žarnjaka.

Iako udaljeno, Lastovsko otočje nezaobilazna je sličica u velikome prirodnome mozaiku Hrvatske. 

he further down you go, the more preserved the nature is. Although these eco-systems are not easy to reach by modern means of transport, the most distant Adriatic islands have preserved their Mediterranean soul, avoiding mass tourism and excessive urbanization. The Lastovo Archipelago is scattered throughout the southern Adriatic, some 15 km from the Island of Korčula. The largest and most central island is Lastovo, but there are also some forty islands, islets and reefs, anchored in the Palagruža undersea threshold rising from the depths between the shallower Adriatic CROATIA AIRLINES

Sea in the north and the very deep basin of the South Adriatic. The westernmost and the furthest of all is Sušac, followed by the western archipelago; to the east of Lastovo is a group of islands called Lastovnjaci, and even further to the east, Vrhovnjaci. Some of them are only bare stone caps, peeking slightly above sea level, washed over by waves and exposed to winds, with only a few tough plants growing here and there.

Here, karst rises from the sea, creating numerous mounts, some of which are bare rocks.

Lastovo’s highest peak, the 417 m tall, Hum, offers a great view of this landscape. From this peak, you can see arable valleys in the midst of the karst landscape, formed into impervious dolomite zones, but also containing sand brought in by the wind, which is a unique phenomenon in the Croatian karst landscape.

Industrious island residents have grown small olive-groves, vineyards and vegetable gar24

dens there. In order to irrigate the fields and provide water for cattle, they built many pools - small oases where many wild animals also come to quench their thirst, some of which have even become permanent residents, like green frogs, snakes and insects. The town of Lastovo has crept up the hill like a grape vine, with its ancient stone walls underneath and red roofs sparkling in the midday Mediterranean sun. Almost every roof boasts a fumar, a chimney - one more creatively-shaped than the next. Commemorating the defense of the island from raiders back in the 15th century, the residents of Lastovo burn a dark-skinned straw dummy on Shrove Tuesday every year.

However, the rest of the island, except the villages, is mostly covered by forests which prefer the olive climate - an abundance of sun and gentle, rainy winters. Granted, the forest primarily consists of Holm oak and Aleppo pine maquis shrubland. The most prominent

feature of the forest is the delicious, orangeto-bright red fruit of the strawberry tree, a common shrub resembling laurel. Every now and then, you will hear lizards rustling, but you need not fear getting bitten by any venomous snakes because there are none on the island.

Climate, a solitary position on the open seas, exceptionally-deep soil, an abundance of sunlight, as well as nighttime humidity give Lastovo and the entire archipelago a great natural value. Eight hundred and ten plant species have been identified. They include endemic species, like Mauritania grass, which only grows on Lastovo.

Coves can also be seen from Hum and other peaks, although the island’s coast is not as indented as the rest of the Adriatic.

However, the sea extends deeply into coves like Skrivena Luka, and particularly into the nearby Uska Uvala, which is more like a tiny fjord. A contrast to this is the steep and tall coast, at the foot of which the sea gurgles in caves and semi-caves created by the incessant lapping of waves. Mediterranean monk seals once used to inhabit the solitary cliffs of these sea caves and the fact that islanders still occasionally encounter former residents there stirs up hope of their return.

The archipelago even boasts a sandy beach on the island of Saplun.

Whenever the fickle sea allows one to sail some 20 km to the west of Lastovo, a rocky fortress in the midst of the sea - the Island of Sušac - can be reached by boat. Stony ground, strong winds and lack of rain allow for the survival of only 278 species; however, endemic species can always be found in extreme conditions. Sušac has eight of these species, the most striking of which is Brassica Cazzae, which can be found in the crevices of coastal rock. In addition to plants, this is the habitat of very interesting birds - petrels, a bird family which includes the famous albatross. They have their nos-

trils enclosed in one or two tubes on their straight, deeply-grooved bills with hooked tips through which they can eject sea salt.

Also nesting here are the Yelkouan shearwater and Scopoli’s shearwater. These are the true birds of the sea as they, besides nesting, spend almost no time on land. In flight, the Yelkouan shearwater resembles a flying cross, as its wings are perpendicular to the body. It flies very low, and the tips of its wings almost brush the water’s surface. It feeds on fish and mollusks, and thus, often follows fishing boats. The archipelago is also important for the Audouin’s gull, and the local population accounts for as much as 70% of Croatia’s entire Audouin gull population. It is a small bird with dark green legs, a red ring around its eye and a red beak, at the tip of which is a narrow vertical black line. In autumn, the extremely dark Eleonora’s Falcon watches over the cliffs, as it waits for tired small birds migrating south to stop on the island for some rest.

However, many believe that the true treasure of the Lastovo Archipelago is beneath the sea’s surface. One needs to dive into the crystal-clear sea where a true spectacle of life takes place, where there is an abundance of shapes and colors. The rock crevices provide shelter for octopuses, while cuttlefish disguised to resemble the environment, creep along the seabed. The rocky seabed of Lastovo often provides a home to the spiny lobster, the European lobster, small slipper lobster, as well as to rare snails like the Triton’s trumpet and the zoned mitre. Near the bottom of the sea, one can often find the red scorpionfish and see the common dentex and the greater amberjack preying on other fish, while the European conger, the Mediterranean moray and many other fish species lurk. Tuna, swordfish, several dolphin and sea turtle species all cruise the open seas. Lastovo’s seabed is abundant with many coves, shallows and depths, sea reefs, underwater canyons and hidden passages. But the greatest secrets may be hidden in the even greater depths near Sušac, a uniform blue-green space where the sun’s rays can barely reach. Using a lamp will restore colors and make beautiful yellow and red gorgonians forests come alive, as well as variously-colored corals as schools of fish swim by. Unfortunately, this is a scene becoming more and more rare in the Adriatic.

Some 90 individual coral species and those living in groups in the Adriatic belong to the Cnidarians group.

Although far away, the Lastovo archipelago is an indispensable piece in Croatia’s big natural mosaic.  26

If it were at all possible for nature to show its preferences, then the thousand plus islands, islets and rocks strewn along the Adriatic coast could easily be perceived as an act of nature’s extreme generosity towards Croatia. Vrnik is one of them.

.... And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou shalt lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

Exodus: The Law of the Altar

D

vadesetak ih se rasulo poput tamnih kristala i u modrini nevelikog kanala koji razdvaja KorËulu od izduæenoga peljeπkog poluotoka.

Vrnik je jedini trajno nastanjeni otok tog arhipelaga. U gradskome muzeju KorËule Ëuva se neobiËan vlasniËki list, kamena ploËa iz petog stoljeÊa, pronaena na otoku, kojom je na latinskome jeziku uklesano da je izvjesni Valentinijan sa suprugom Sabatijom vlasnik ribnjaka na otoku. S obzirom na prapovijesne i rimske nalaze na susjednim otoËiÊima, te poznatu psefizmu iz obliænje Lumbarde iz 3. st.pr.

Kr., jednog od najstarijih pronaenih zapisa na kamenu, kojom se zemlja raspodjeljuje grËkim kolonizatorima, pretpostavlja se da je i Vrnik bio nastanjen mnogo prije. Popisom je prije dvije stotine godina zabiljeæeno 86 stanovnika na ©koju, pedeset godina poslije bilo ih je 173.

Ali, prije Ëetrdeset godina, na otoku je stalno æivjelo 55 ljudi, a danas ih je samo dvoje. »ak je i posljednji klesarski majstor, sa svojom suprugom, odustao od boravka na Vrniku zimi, kad je otok izloæen samoÊi i snaænim vjetrovima. A vjetrovi su osobito vaæni za æivot na otoku. Kaæu da svaki od njih ima svoju duπu, svoj miris i svoj okus. Vrnik je jednako izloæen dvama najpoznatijima - buri, nepredvidivoj, koja udara na refule i podiæe valove s Ëijih krijesta otkida pjenu pa se Ëini da se more dimi ili da kipi. Hladna je i suha i, osim u rijetkim sluËajevima kad se usput napuni kiπom i oblacima pa je nazivaju πkurom burom, donosi sunËano, ali svjeæe vrijeme.

Katkad otok od bure zaπtiti najviπi peljeπki vrh, Sv. Ilija, koji svojim surim liticama dominira cijelim krajolikom, ali taj sjeverni vjetar ËeπÊe prekoraËi obliænje planinsko sedlo pa se Ëini kao da joπ ubrza spustom niza strminu. I u samom je imenu Vrnika sadržano značenje brane (vrana), branika - možda upravo Lumbarde od silovitih naleta bure…

Nekad je Sv. Ilija sluæio VrniËanima kao golem sunËani sat pa su vrijeme mjerili po osunËanosti jedne uoËljive ploËe na njegovim padinama.

I danas po njemu Ëesto predviaju vremenske neprilike - tako kaæu da se sprema oluja kad Sv. Ilija dobije svoju kapu od oblaka.

Jugo, pak, koji ovdje nazivaju πilokom, dolazi u druπtvu s olovnim oblacima, niskim i bremeni-

tima kiπom. Upravo ovdje, na juænom Jadranu, Ëesto je olujno i podiæe duge i pravilne valove koji glasno kotrljaju vrniËka æala, otimlju ih i uporno preoblikuju, uzimajuÊi viπe, vraÊajuÊi manje i poraajuÊi neke od najljepπih malih plaæa nadaleko. Neugodan je i lebiÊ ili garbin, jugozapadni vjetar koji zimi katkad naraste do olujnoga, podigne razinu mora i stihijski iskriæa valove koji zatim razbijaju obalu, lome griæe i mostove, ljudskom rukom sazdana pristaniπta.

A kad je vrijeme loπe, da otok ima timun (kormilo), i on bi otplovija, izgovoreno je drugim povodom, kad je samo u jednom danu, u poËetku proπlog stoljeÊa, tisuÊu i pol mjeπtana Blata sa susjedne KorËule otiπlo u svijet zbog teπkih ekonomskih prilika.

Da bi se æivjelo na otoku, treba biti svestran. Treba znati Ëuvati i popravljati barku, najvaæniju sponu s ostatkom svijeta, treba znati loviti ribu, imati svoja posebna mjesta poπte - za bacanje vrπa i mreæa, treba znati ispeÊi kruh, obraditi πkrte otoËke vrtove, uzgojiti maslinu i praviti od nje ulje... Lako se prepoznaje put prema starom kaštilu, u dijelu nekad zvanom Gornje selo. Samo treba slijediti trag cvijeÊa - toliko je ljubavi uloæeno u skromne biljke koje rastu sasvim uz more, u nemoguÊim uvjetima, u kamenu, gotovo bez zemlje, cvatu u napuπtenoj barci, probuπenoj djeËjoj lopti ili deblu sruπene palme, izloæene pripeci, vjetru i posolici. A pred jednim od najljepπih i najoËuvanijih petrala, kako ovdje nazivaju napuπtene klesarske radionice, joπ neobraen blok kamena Ëeka da ga stari majstor ponovno uzme u ruke i na njemu radi bez prave potrebe, za duπu, tek toliko da se na otoku joπ jedanput Ëuje zvonki zvuk klesanja, ritmiËna glazba rada od koje su æivjeli Ëitavi naraπtaji.

Sa suprotne strane otoka, zaπtiÊena od bure i okrenuta prema Lumbardi, uvala je Bufalo, za koju vam vjerojatno nitko neÊe znati reÊi kako je dobila neobiËno ime. U njoj veÊi dio godine boravi i stvara, a ljeti vodi svojevrsnu umjetniËku πkolu, kipar Lujo Lozica. Pred njegovom su kuÊom i atelijerom izloæene velike skulpture u kamenu i mramoru, glatke, bjelopute, zaobljene odaliske koje svjedoËe o ljepoti i zgusnutoj senzualnosti ovog podneblja.

Kad se barkom pribliæavate otoËiÊu, odvojenome od velike i nestvarno lijepe KorËule tek uskim tjesnacem Jeæevice, uËinit Êe vam se da more, nekim Ëudom, postaje sve prozirnije i sve mirisnije. Taj miris mora, koji podsjeÊa na svjeæe otvorenu lubenicu, pred pristajanjem na Škoj pomijeπat Êe se, veÊ prema godiπnjem dobu, s mirisima otoka - tamarisa, vrijesa, kadulje, divljeg πeboja, frezija i brnistre. Kasnije u godini bit Êe to miris lovora, pitospore, Ëempresa i smokava, zatim opojan miris oleandra i procvale mirte. Moæda Êe upravo tada, kada vi pristanete, cvasti stabla limuna i naranËi, a uvijek, u svako doba godine, doËekat Êe vas kompliciran, gust i opor miris smilja, samonikloga i smjernoga, ali ipak vladara toga skromnog otoka. Smilje je ujedno i glavno gorivo srpanjskih krijesova koji se pale pa ih djeca preskakuju noć uoči velikoga škojarskog blagdana, 2. srpnja, na svetkovinu Gospe od Škoja, zaštitnice otoka, koju slave već više od stotinu godina. Gospin se kip i relikvijar na taj zavjetni blagdan u procesiji nosi do crkvice Gospe od pohođenja. Na relikvijaru koji je za stotu obljetnicu štovanja Gospe od Škoja izradio kipar Hrvoje Ljubić, uza simbole preteškoga kamenarskoga rada upisani su stihovi: Još kao da čujemo udarce bata i dlijeta vrijednih kamenara, naših neimara, a kad sve bi do vrhunca došlo, tad pogledi dizali se k Nebu: Pomozi, o Gospe! U dvorištima ljubaznih škojara, koji će na svoj blagdan rado barkom prevesti s Korčule na Vrnik svakoga gosta, tada se mogu kušati domaći kolači i vino. Ukratko, kao što kažu škojari: Na dva luja, svi škojari aleluja!

Malo je danas mjesta na svijetu Ëiji je izgled tako izmijenjen ljudskom rukom kao πto je to otok Vrnik. TuristiËki vodiËi koji u sezoni barem jedanput na dan dovedu barku punu turista na brzi obilazak, najprije ih vode u kâve - stare otoËke kamenolome.

Vaenje kamena i njegova obrada oblikovale su stoljeÊima izgled otoka - ostale su okomite isklesane litice visoke i do pedeset metara, s redovima karakteristiËnog uzorka riblje kosti, nastale mukotrpnim ruËnim klesanjem kamenih blokova. Kako se kamen na Vrniku nije samo vadio nego i obraivao, upravo je od πkaje, kamenoga klesarskog otpada, CROATIA AIRLINES

stvoren bregovit otoËki krajolik, ispresijecan prokopima, kanjonima i hodnicima, niz koje se, kozjim lojem namazanim smukovima, posebnim drvenim napravama koje istodobno podsjeÊaju na sanjke i na poloæene ljestve, kamen spuπtao do obale. Ondje ga je Ëekalo brodovlje koje Êe ga odvesti na naruËena odrediπta. Poslije su napravljene željezne tračnice po kojima su klizili vagoneti - od kojih je jedan sačuvan i na obali prolaznike podsjeća na dane vrničke kamenarske slave.

Kamen je ovdje æiva tvar, iz njega se, govore

kamen. Toma Arhiakon, u citatima iz 13. stoljeÊa, spominje kako su za vrijeme progona krπÊana u korËulanskim kamenolomima radili rimski robovi. Smrtna kazna, koja im je bila dosuena jer nisu æeljeli odreÊi se krπÊanstva, bila bi ublaæena prisilnim radom u podzemnim kamenolomima. Od svih korËulanskih otoka na kojima se vadio kamen, Vrnik ima najstariju kamenarsku tradiciju, s pet takvih podzemnih kamenoloma. Bile su to poluπpilje izdubene izravno u kamenoj æili, kako bi se izbjegao mukotrpan postupak uklanjanja povrπinskog

naËina pospjeπilo i otkriÊe baruta. Kamen se vadio stepeniËasto, a brazde kojima su se skidali blokovi joπ su vidljive u starim kavama.

Pri vaenju bloka, kad je god to bilo moguÊe, pazilo se da mu oblik bude πto bliæi æeljenome konaËnom proizvodu - na primjer stupu ili kamenici - posudi za Ëuvanje ulja, ili nekome drugom obliku, jer tako su prenoπenje i kasnija obrada bivali lakπima.

VrniËki je kamen bijel i gust vapnenac koji u povrπinskim slojevima ima mnogo fosilnih πkoljaka. Ali πto se ide dublje, njegova je

sloja loπijeg kamena. Taj bi jalovi sloj ponegdje iznosio i nekoliko metara pa se stoga dobar kamen uzimao rudarskim zahvaÊanjem u sâm zdravi kameni sloj, pritom se gornji, nekvalitetan, ostavljao netaknutim. Danas je unutraπnjost tih podzemnih potkopa, grota dubokih i do 15 metara, gotovo potpuno zasuta πkajama.

U srednjemu i novom vijeku sasvim je napuπten takav naËin lomljenja kamena, prelaskom na vanjsko, povrπinsko vaenje, a moæe se pretpostaviti da je napuπtanje rudarskoga

struktura sve ËiπÊa, dok se ne doe do najkvalitetnijeg kamena, najËiπÊega kalcijeva karbonata, koji ne trpi nikakve πtete od izloæenosti vremenskim uvjetima - suncu, kiπi, mrazu, hladnoÊi. On se ne mrvi, ne gubi bjelinu, polituru ni ËvrstoÊu ni djelovanjem morske vode, valova, plime i oseke, a podnosi i velike terete.

Joπ i danas s ponosom Êe vam svaki πkojar reÊi kako su od vrniËkog kamena, uz popriliËno korËulanskih i dubrovaËkih palaËa, sagraene mnoge znamenite graevine u svijetu - od veliËanstvene Aja Sofije u Istanbulu, cvjet-

mnoge predaje, raa Ëovjek. Kamen Ëuva ljudsku toplinu, zadræava Ëovjekov miris.

Ima neka duboka, tajna veza izmeu duπe i kamena. Moæda baπ prolaznost i ranjivost izazivaju Ëovjeka da u njemu, simbolu vjeËnosti, klesanjem ostavi svoj trag, svoj trajniji otisak.

Kamen je ovdje Ëovjeku dom cijeloga æivota, a dom mu je i u smrti. Ovdje je kamen blago, i zato s pravom moæemo reÊi da je Vrnik otok s blagom.

TraæeÊi vrstan graevni kamen za svoje palaËe, veÊ su stari Rimljani otkrili vrniËki 34

nogotiËkih palaËa u Veneciji, dijelova Bijele kuÊe u Washingtonu, do budimpeπtanskog Parlamenta. Od kamena bijelog poput galebovih krila, u Zagrebu je od njega sagraeno Otvoreno uËiliπte, Kineski paviljon na ZagrebaËkom velesajmu i danaπnji Dom hrvatske vojske, no svakako su poznatije dubrovaËke graevine koje svoju ljepotu temelje upravo na kamenu sa ©koja. Samo su neke od njih: Kneæev dvor, crkva sv. Vlaha, dominikanska crkva, gradski sat, samostan Male braÊe i, naravno, nebrojenim koracima poput zrcala uglaËani ploËnik na Stradunu.

Osobit procvat kamenarstvo je doæivjelo u 14. stoljeÊu kad se na KorËuli snaæno razvija kamenoklesarski obrt zbog potreba dubrovaËkih majstora za kvalitetnim kamenom. U potrazi za tim najvaænijim graevnim materijalom, oko kojega se vrti cijela hrvatska graditeljska kultura i tradicija, ti su majstori dolazili i u vrniËke kamenolome i pouËavali domaÊe radnike obradi kamena. U isto se vrijeme i grad KorËula poËinje pretvarati iz skromnog naselja u jedinstvenu prostorno ureenu cjelinu Ëija stara jezgra na poluotoku, gledana odozgo, podsjeÊa na skamenjenog skarabeja.

Osobito rastu potrebe za kamenom kad se, uza stambenu, razvija i javna gradnja - pa se njime gradi nova katedrala, korËulanske zidine, crkve i poploËavaju ulice.

I dok je na susjednoj Badiji, otoku koji moli, cvao duhovni život, Vrnik, otok koji radi, kojega stari Korčulani i Vrničani nisu zvali drugačije nego Škoj, a njegove stanovnike Škojarima, postaje mjestom svjetovnog života, rada i rađanja. Na ©koju je katkad radilo i do πest stotina radnika, strogo hijerarhijski i organizacijski podijeljenih. Na dnu ljestvice bili su kavaduri, najmanje plaÊeni i najmanje πkolovani radnici, Ëiji je posao bio i najmukotrpniji. Tragove njihovih vrijednih ruku danas vidimo na okomitim plohama napuπtenih kava. Klesali su kanale tek dovoljno duboke i πiroke da u njima mogu stajati i udarati ËekiÊem, a onda bi se kameni blok odvajao. Na vrhu jedne od tih litica uklesana je 1929. godina, kad se s nje poËeo vaditi kamen. Da bi se prikavavanjem, opisanim naËinom, doπlo do njezina dna, trebalo je nekoliko desetaka godina. Napravili su tako baπ kavaduri, i ne sluteÊi, ove Ëudesne spomenike teπkome ljudskom radu. Postojao je joπ jedan povrπinski naËin vaenja - tzv. kunjirom. Kameni bi se blokovi odvajali stepeniËasto; duæ kamenih æila iskopao bi se kanal u koji su se ulagali veliki klinovi. Kamenari bi zatim sloæno, na komandu, batovima tukli po klinovima sve dok se blok ne bi odvalio.

Kavaduri su, uz vaenje kamena, Ëistili kave od otpada, odlaæuÊi ih najprije u ograena mjesta u suhozidima, a zatim i povrh njih CROATIA AIRLINES

podiæuÊi breæuljke danas obrasle samoniklim Ëempresima, lovorom i makijom. Na starim fotografijama Vrnik, potpuno ogoljen i bijel, izlaæe svima svoju preokrenutu kamenu utrobu, a danas je, Ëetrdeset godina od prestanka organiziranog vaenja kamena, priroda uËinila svoje - biljke su malo-pomalo, zasijavajuÊi se same u kamenoj praπini, osvojile i gotovo otopile kamen, prorasle ga i čudesnom rekonkvistom proæele svojim korijenjem zazelenjujuÊi otok.

Vjeπtiji su klesari radili u petralima, brojnim radionicama Ëiji su ostaci danas pomalo tuæna atrakcija otoka. Tuæna jer su takve - utihnule i napuπtene - prepuπtene samoÊi i propadanju. Rijetke su one koje joπ imaju krovove od kupa ili kamenih ploËa - kotala, a okna su im ili zabijena daskama ili ih uopÊe nema, pa su joπ izloæenije moru, vjetrovima i pogledima.

I kavadure i klesare vodili su protomajstori - proti, vlasnici ili upravitelji petrala i kâva, koji su organizirali poslove. Kako je na otoku postojalo Ëak 29 kamenoloma u kojima su se rabile mnoge æeljezne alatke, klinovi, macole, piËinduri, pikuni, na otoku je postojalo i nekoliko kovaËija - kovaËnica u kojima su ih klesari i sami znali popravljati. Neke su obitelji stoljeÊima dobro æivjele i od brodarstva - ukrcavajuÊi kamen na svoje jedrenjake i izvozeÊi ga πirom svijeta. Na povratku u svojim su spremnicima, kao balast, dovozili plodnu zemlju i iskrcavali je na πkoju u male vrtove uza svoje kuÊe da im sluæe kao povrtnjaci, ili u dva-tri veÊa ardina. Najljepπi vrniËki ardin, onaj KorËulanke Ivice, skriven je iza srediπnjih kuÊa u Poπkoju, danaπnjem srediπtu mjesta, prikladno zaklonjenome i od bure i od juga. Na njegovim terasama svejednako rastu Ëudesno aromatiËne naranËe, mandarine i limuni, smokve, neπpule, æiæule, bob, artiËoke, rikula, maæuran, majËina duπica, kantarion i tko zna koji joπ mediteranski plod ili aromatiËna trava, a sve to u obilju cvijeÊa, od narcisa, perunika i divljih frezija, do ljubica i πumarica. Ovdje je i najljepπa kuÊa na otoku, stara, zagonetna vila Fabris.

Pedesetih se godina proπlog stoljeÊa broj kamenara, koji su dolazili raditi na otok ili su ondje stanovali, smanjio na dvjestotinjak, a poËeo se rabiti i dinamit. Eksploziv je ubrzao skidanje jalovine s povrπine, ali i poveÊao koliËinu πkaje, pa se ona vagonetima odvozila i sipala u more, koje bi je nezasitno gutalo, a od onoga πto bi preostalo, oblikovalo lijepa bijela æala. Iz čempresima obraslih kava više se ne čuje ni povik Alarga, mina je, da se kamenari pripreme na eksploziju mine koja će odvaliti kamenu gromadu. A kad bi se prašina slegla, išlo bi se provjeriti je li sve dobro prošlo i je li stijena pukla baš kako je trebalo.

Klesari su isprva æivjeli u susjednim mjestima - Lumbardi, KorËuli, Ærnovu, a barkama bi svaki dan dolazili raditi na Vrnik ili bi prespavali u svojim radionicama. Poslije se dio njih zastalno preselio na ©koj i ondje sagradio kuÊe u kojima su æivjeli sa svojim obiteljima. Smatra se da je otok ponovno trajno naseljen u 17. stoljeÊu, najprije obiteljima Portolan, PeruËiÊ i KuËija, a poslije i ForetiÊima i Fabrisima. U tom se stoljeÊu na ©koju razvila i bratovπtina kamenara sv. Mateja, religiozno, ali i socijalno udruæenje Ëiji je zadatak, uz vjersko okupljanje, bila i cehovska zaπtita bratima, pa su se iz zajedniËke blagajne podupirali bolesni Ëlanovi, pomagala siroËad, davali prilozi za miraze, vjenËanja i pogrebe. Sve su bratovπtine imale svoja pravila, svoga crkvenog patrona, crkvu, kapelu ili barem oltar, a Ëesto i odreena mjesta okupljanja, tzv. skule, zajedniËke domove, te posebna odijela za nastupe u procesijama.

U 17. stoljeÊu, toËnije 1674. godine, sagraena je, ljupka u svojoj odmjerenosti, barokna crkvica Gospe od Pohoenja, sa æivopisnom mramornom inkrustacijom na oltarnoj menzi, graditelja Tome Azalija, jednoga od najaktivnijih nastavljaËa viπestoljetne tradicije korËulanskog kamenarstva. Uz radove na korËulanskoj katedrali, radio je Azali po cijeloj juænoj Dalmaciji, bio protomajstor gradnje trobrodne jezgre hvarske katedrale, isporuËivao klesane dijelove za proËelje i zvonik kotorske katedrale, sagradio ljetnikovac Arneri u Blatu. Pretpostavlja se da je upravo Gospa od Pohoenja jedno od njegovih posljednjih djela. Brigu o crkvici danas vode škojari, oltar joj ukraπavaju uπkrobljenom Ëipkom i svjeæim cvijeÊem, a proete li onuda navečer, ponekad ćete kroz skladnu i skromnu rozetu vidjeti nestvarnu blagu svjetlost zapaljene svijeće - jer netko je od škojara krenuo na put.

Najstarija je graevina na Vrniku kaπtil obitelji Gabrieli-Ismaeli iz 15. stoljeÊa, potpuno obnovljen prije nekoliko godina. Iako njegov oblik predoËuje moguÊu obrambenu funkciju, kaπtil je toj korËulanskoj plemiÊkoj obitelji sluæio kao ljetnikovac.

U poËetku proπlog stoljeÊa podignuta je crkva Gospe od ©koja, koja danas dominira glavnom vizurom otoka, onom koja se vidi s korËulanskog rta KrmaËe, kako je Škojari popularno zovu, najbliæe kopnene toËke na kojoj je sagraeno parkiraliπte. Crkva, sa svojom zaobljenom, gotovo putenom apsidom, zorno svjedoËi o klesarskom umijeÊu Škojara, na koje Êe vas njihovi potomci danas neizostavno upozoriti: izmeu velikih kamenih blokova od kojih je sagraena, nema meuprostora, nema fuga, toliko su precizno isklesani da savrπeno, poput segmenata dorskoga hrama, nalijeæu jedan na drugi. Odmah do nje nalazi se i πkolska zgrada 38

koja je bila otvorena sve do kraja pedesetih, kad je otok dobio i struju.

No æivot je ipak, zatvaranjem kamenoloma, polako otjecao s otoka. Kako se turizam tada ovdje joπ nije mogao ni sanjati, stanovniπtvo se poËelo osipati, raseljavati najprije po KorËuli, Dubrovniku, Splitu, zatim Zagrebu i ostatku svijeta. Taj proces nije zaustavilo ni postavljanje vodovoda u osamdesetim godinama proπlog stoljeÊa, a ni razvoj turizma nije ih trajno vratio.

Danas je πkola zatvorena, zakljuËana. Ljeti se naveËer pred njom djeca Ëesto okupljaju i igraju lovice podiæuÊi praπinu na trgu i ta graja odjekuje unutar praznih πkolskih dvorana i hodnika, napuπtenoga uËiteljskog stana - meπtrije - kao jeka nekadaπnjih njezinih uËenika. Poneki razbijen prozor Škojari brzo zamijene, a πkola opet utone u mrak i tiπinu, Ëak i usred sezone. Teπko je danas povjerovati da je puËko πkolstvo na Vrniku imalo gotovo stogodiπnju povijest, od 1868. do 1958., u kojoj se izredalo 18 uËitelja, i to zahvaljujuÊi kapelanima i poglavarima otoka. Oni su uporno nastojali olakπati obrazovanje πkojarskoj djeci kako ne bi morala, u nepovoljnim zimskim uvjetima, ploviti do pola milje udaljene Lumbarde ili do dvije milje udaljenoga grada KorËule. Najvaæniji je cilj ipak bio zadræati ih na otoku kako bi nastavili πkojarsku kamenarsku tradiciju.

Ni plesni podij - balarina u neposrednoj blizini veÊ dugo nije u upotrebi, Ëak ni ljeti. Tek poneka barka, izvuËena na plato ukraπen æarama iz kojih rastu mirisni geraniji i agave, ovdje je osuena na polagano umiranje. A nekad se na tom podiju plesalo, uza svirku harmonike, danas zaboravljeni πkojarski ples, siroticu.

Kad stigne sezona, otok gotovo postane pretijesan, kao i parkiraliπte na KrmaËi. Zanimljivo je da ste joπ u poËetku devedesetih godina, kad biste se spustili na kameni mol, mogli samo viknuti prema otoku da ste tu. Onaj tko bi vas Ëuo, sjeo bi u barku i doπao po vas.

Danas se, vjerojatno, nitko ne bi ni osvrnuo, a vi biste, ako se ni s kime niste prethodno dogovorili, ili rezervirali voænju taksijem, mogli satima Ëekati da vas netko preveze prijeko.

Sami Škojari Ëesto spominju kako je nekad na otoku vladalo zajedniπtvo i sloga, i u radu i u dokolici, a danas se ni ljeti viπe ne okupljaju kao nekad na klupama pred crkvom ili kamenom rivom. I boÊaliπte je zapuπteno, zaraslo. ©kojari su se otuili, svi gledaju svoja posla i brinu svoje brige.

Ipak, svakoga ljeta, barem jedanput, organizira se velika festa - bilo da je rijeË o koncertu neke gostujuÊe glumaËke trupe ili glazbene skupine; organiziraju je korËulanski i naknadni Škojari, oni koji su prije trideset ili Ëetrdeset godina imali dobar nos i ovdje

wenty or so of them are scattered like dark crystals across the navy blue water of the small channel which separates the island of Korčula from the elongated body of Pelješac peninsula.

Vrnik is the only island within this archipelago with any permanent inhabitation. The municipal museum of Korčula›s holdings include a very unusual property deed, a stone tablet dating back to the 5th century, which was discovered on the island. The Latin inscription on the stone makes reference to a certain Valentinian and his wife, Sabatia, as the owners of a fish pond on the island. However, based on the evidence of prehistoric and old Roman artefacts found on the neighbouring islets, as well as the famous 3rd century B.C. psephisma of Lumbarda, one of the oldest inscriptions in stone ever found, which bears testimony to the distribution of land among the Greek

colonizers, it may be rightly assumed that the inhabitation of Vrnik started much earlier.

Two hundred years ago, a census recorded 86 inhabitants on the islet; fifty years later, there were 173. However, forty years ago, only 55 remained, and today, there are no more than two.

Even the last stonemason and his wife have forgone Vrnik’s winters, when the island is left to the mercy of strong winds and solitude reigns. Winds play an important role in the life of the island. Every wind is reputed to have its own soul, particular smell and taste. Vrnik is exposed to the equally powerful forces of the two best known winds. The first one is the unpredictable and gusty bura. It raises foaming waves which break and throw off spume from their crests and make the sea look as if it were boiling or fuming in smoke.

It is a cold and dry wind. Occasionally it will collect rain laden clouds on its way to the island before it hits it as the dark bura. At any other times it brings sunny but crisp cold weather. St. Elijah, the highest peak on Pelješac, sometimes manages to save the day and protect the island from the gusts of bura. The mountain’s bare slopes dominate the landscape, but the northerly wind breaks out over the mountain ridge and rushes down the slope with a vengeance. The etymology of

the name Vrnik comes from the word meaning dam (brana or vrana), which shields Korčula and Lumbarda from strong bora wind gusts.

There was a time when St. Elijah’s peak served as a huge sundial for the inhabitants of Vrnik who used to tell time according to the way sunlight fell onto its bare rock. To this very day, the peak is believed to predict weather - a cloudy hat on St. Elijah’s head means that a storm is in the offing.

The second wind, jugo, also known in these parts as the šilok, has dark grey clouds as its faithful companions. They creep low over the ground, heavily laden with rain. It is here, in the southern part of the Adriatic, that the Jugo often gusts and creates long, regular waves which crash ashore with a roar and continue to reshape the island’s coastline. The waves always take more from it then they bring back to it, and this is how some of the most beautiful small beaches have been created.

Another unpleasant wind is the south-westerly lebić or garbin, which is known to gust in winter when it raises the sea level and makes the turbulent waves’ paths cross and crash against the coast; they break bridges and little harbours that were built by human hands.

When the weather is bad, if the island had a rudder, it would also sail away. These words were first heard on the occasion of a historical CROATIA AIRLINES

One needs to be a Jack of all trades to survive on the island. You have to know how to protect and repair your boat, your most important tie with the rest of the world; you have to be able to catch your own fish; you have to have your own best spots for throwing nets and traps; you have to learn how to make your own bread and grow vegetables and fruit from the unyielding island soil; you have to be well versed in olive husbandry and extracting olive oil from the fruit of olive tree... It is easy to find the way to the old manor house in the part once known as the Upper Village. All you have to do is follow the flower trail - so much love has been invested in the unassuming plants which grow ever so close to the sea, defying the impossible conditions; they spring from what seems like bare rock, with almost no soil to speak of, from an abandoned wooden boat, a deflated children’s ball or the trunk of a fallen palm tree. They have to fight scorching heat, winds and salt from the sea. In front of one of the most beautiful and best preserved petrals, as the locals call the abandoned stonemasons’ workshops, there is a raw block of stone, waiting for the old stonemason to take it into his hands and work on it, without any other pressing need but to nourish his soul

and make the melodious beat of stone chiselling resound once again across the island and evoke the times when entire generations of islanders lived off this trade.

On the opposite, Lumbarda facing side of the island sheltered from the winds, one will find the so called Bufalo Bay. It is quite likely that nobody will be able to tell you the origins of this unusual name. This is where sculptor Lujo Lozica spends most of his time, creating sculptures and running an art school of sorts in summer. Big stone and marble sculptures are on display in front of his house and atelier. The smooth, white-skinned, curvaceous odalisques stand witness to the beauty and intense sensuality of this environment.

As you approach the islands by boat, sailing across the narrow Ježevica channel which separates it from the big and surreally beautiful island of Korčula, you will experience a miraculous change in the sea - it will start appearing more transparent and more fragrant. This fragrance of the sea, reminiscent of freshly cut watermelon, will gradually blend with the island’s seasonal fragrances of tamaris, heather, sage, wild wallflower and scotch broom. Later in the year, it will be the fragrances of laurel, passion flower, cypress

and figs, the heady scents of oleander and myrtle in bloom. Lemon and orange trees may be in bloom at the moment when you dock and at any other time, in any season, you will be welcomed by the intricate, dense and robust fragrance of immortelle; however unassuming it may seem, this tiny plant is still the ruler of this equally unassuming island.

Immortelle is the main fuel for July bonfires, which are lit and then, children jump over them on the night before the island’s major holiday, which celebrates Our Lady of the Islets, the patron saint of islands; the holiday is on July 2nd and has been celebrated for more than a hundred years. The statue of Our Lady and reliquary are carried in a procession to the church of Our Lady of Visitation. The reliquary, created by sculptor Hrvoje Ljubić, in order to mark the anniversary of Our Lady of the Islets, features symbols of intricate stonemasonry work, as well as the following verse: As if we can still hear the sounds of the hammer and chisel of hardworking stonemasons, our builders, and when everything reaches its peak, eyes would look up to the sky: Help us, oh Lady!

In their courtyards, friendly islanders, who gladly take any guest from Korčula to Vrnik

by boat, offer homemade cake and wine.

In short, as the islanders say: Dva luja, all islanders alleluia!

The island of Vrnik is one of the rare places in the world whose appearance has been so perceptibly altered by human labour. At least once a day during the tourist season, tour guides bring a boatload of visitors on a quick tour of the island. Their first port of call is kave – the old stone quarries.

For centuries, stone extraction and stonemasonry shaped this island and left a mark on its appearance: vertical cliffs, which rise up to 50 meters above sea level depict fishbone patterned lines which were created as a result of the painstaking manual extraction of stone blocks. Stone was not only quarried but also carved on the island. The by-product of the stonemasonry work, škaja, has shaped the island’s jagged landscape, intersected by funnels, canyons and corridors. Through these passages between the heaps of škaja, special wooden contraptions, smuki, reminiscent both of sleighs and a horizontally positioned ladder and oiled with goat’s fat, were used to haul stone blocks to the coast where they were loaded onto ships and transported to their final destinations. Iron tracks were later

put down for carriages to roll on, one of which was preserved in order to remind visitors of the famous stonemasonry days of Vrnik.

On this island stone is a living matter, the stuff Crkvica Gospe od Pohođenja iz 1647. godine, graditelja Tome Azalija Church of Our Lady of Visitation, built in 1647 by Tomo Azali

of legends, the very thing from which man is born. Stone conserves human warmth and maintains its scent. There is a deep, secret bond between the human soul and stone. The transient nature and vulnerability of human beings could well be the reason behind the human adamant desire to break this symbol of eternity, to leave a trace in it, to put the ultimate footprint on it. In these parts, stone is home, in life and in death. Here, stone is a treasure, which makes Vrnik a veritable treasure island.

Old Romans discovered the Vrnik stone as they searched for excellent building material to build their palaces. In his 13th century writings, Thomas the Archdeacon referred to Roman slaves who used to work in stone quarries around Korčula during the persecution of Christians. The death sentences they had received for refusing to renounce Christ was mitigated and reduced to forced labour in the underground stone quarries. Of all the islands around Korčula where stone was ever quarried, Vrnik has the longest tradition and as many as five such underground stone quarries. They are demy Lune caves, dug out directly in the mother rock. This technique was employed to circumvent the painstakingly digging to remove the topmost layer composed of the 44

CROATIA AIRLINES

lesser quality stone. At places, this relatively worthless layer was several meters thick; that is why the best quality stone was extracted by carving straight into the underlying superior quality layer of rock bed, while leaving the upper layers intact. Presently, the interior of these subterranean grotto-like mines, up to 15 meters deep at places, is almost completely filled in with škaja.

This manner of stone breaking was completely abandoned in medieval times and substituted by surface quarrying. It may only be assumed that the discovery of gunpowder played a role in that. Stone was excavated in a step-like manner and grooves marking the places where stone blocks were separated from the quarry cliffs are still visible in the old kave. Blocks of stone were extracted in different shapes and sizes to match the final product, be it a column, an oil vessel or any other, as closely as possible.

This made the transport and subsequent stone carving a much easier exercise.

The Vrnik stone is white and dense limestone; it features an abundance of fossil shells in the upper layer of the rock bed. The deeper one digs into it, the limestone structure becomes cleaner and cleaner until the highest quality stone is revealed as the purest calcium carbo-

nate, a durable material which is not affected by the elements - sun, rain, frost, cold. It will not crumble, fade, loose its shine or become softer even after long exposure to the sea, waves, low and high tides, and it will bear huge loads extremely well.

Every islander will tell you with great pride that their stone was used to build many palaces in Korčula and Dubrovnik, as well as a number of other important buildings around the world - the magnificent Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, the flourishing gothic palaces in Venice, parts of the White House in Washington, the Parliament House in Budapest... The stone, white as seagull’s wings, was also used in Zagreb to build the Open University, the Chinese Pavilion on the grounds of the Zagreb Fair and the present Hall of the Croatian Army. Still, perhaps the best known are the buildings in the old city of Dubrovnik which owe their beauty to the Vrnik stone. To mention but a few: the Duke’s Palace, the Church of St. Blaise, the Dominican Church, the city’s clock tower, the monasteries of the Little Brethren, and last but certainly not least, the pavement of the Dubrovnik Stradun, polished by the steps of thousands of strollers.

Stone quarrying saw its heyday in the 14th century, when the stonemasonry trade burgeoned in Korčula to meet the Dubrovnik master builders’ demand for quality stone. Looking for this indispensable building material, which is the centre of the Croatian building culture and tradition, those masters came to the Vrnik stone quarries and trained local workers in the stone carving trade. At the same time, the town of Korčula saw a transformation from a modest settlement into a unique urban area with an old nucleus reminiscent of a petrified scarab, when seen from above. The demand for stone was fuelled by the subsequent surge in the construction of public buildings - a new cathedral, the walls around the city of Korčula, churches and stone paved streets.

And while spiritual life flourished on the neighbouring island of Badija, on Vrnik, which was known to the inhabitants of both Korčula and Vrnik as Škoj (the Island), and its inhabitant as Islanders, secular life and labour bore hewn stone and children. There were times when up to six hundred men worked on the island. They had a well-defined organization and hierarchy. Kavaduri were the ones at the bottom of the pecking order. They were the least paid and the least skilled workers, who-

se job was also the hardest. Traces of their diligent hands’ labour can still be seen on the vertical walls of the abandoned caves. They used to carve narrow channels in the rock, hardly wide and deep enough to hold a man who was supposed to stand in them and keep on hammering away until the moment a stone block could be detached from the rock bed.

The figure 1929 is carved in the very top of one of the cliffs, marking the year when it was opened for exploration. It took a few decades to reach its bottom by hammering the stone and creating caves in the process. While toiling away, the unsuspecting kavaduri erected the most wondrous monuments to human labour. Another stone extraction method employed the so-called kunjir. Stone blocks were separated in a step-like manner; slits were cut in stone to create space for wedges and then the stone workers would proceed in unison, on command, and went on hitting the wedges with mullets until the block was separated from the parent mass.

In addition to extracting the stone, kavaduri also cleaned the caves from debris, which was initially deposited as a filler material in dry walls and subsequently all over them. As a result, the island’s terrain was reshaped

and hills were created, nowadays overgrown with cypress, laurel and shrubbery. In old photographs, Vrnik is depicted as completely denuded and white, flashing its stone belly to the whole world. Today, forty years after the organized stone quarrying was discontinued, nature has taken its course. The plants have gradually propagated themselves in the stone dust; they have conquered and almost melted the stone, their roots have intersected the rocks and the island has turned green.

The more skilled stonemasons worked in petrali, the numerous workshops whose remains currently constitute a somewhat sad attraction of this island; sad, as they stand silent and forgotten, left to a slow decay. Very few still have brick or slate roofs. Their windows are either boarded up or non-existent which

makes them even more exposed to the sea, winds and curious looks.

Both the kavaduri and stonemasons were lead by protomasters or protos, the owners and managers of the workshops and caves.

There were as many as 29 stone quarries on the islands at one point and one can only imagine how many different iron tools were used in them, wedges, mullets, picinduri and pikuni, which all had to be repaired at some point. Several forges on the island catered to the stonemasons’ needs in that respect. There were also families who did well from shipping they loaded the stone onto their sailboats and exported it all over the world. On their return journey, their boats carried a ballast of fertile soil which the boat owners offloaded on the island, thus creating little vegetable gardens behind their houses, or two or three flower gardens. The most beautiful garden on Vrnik, the one which belongs to a Korčula dweller, Mrs. Ivica, is hidden among the centrally positioned houses in Poškoj, well shielded from the bura and jugo winds.

The beautifully aromatic plants thrive on its terraces: oranges, tangerines, lemons, figs, loquats, jujubes, fava beans, artichokes, rocket, marjoram, thyme, St. John’s wort and many other Mediterranean fruits and herbs, all of them surrounded by a carpet of daffodils, irises, wild freesias, violets and anemones.

The most beautiful house on the island, the old, mysterious Villa Fabris is also nestled here.

In the 50’s of last century, the number of stone workers, who either commuted to this island or resided there, was cut down to about two hundred as dynamite became more widely used. The explosive accelerated the process of removing the lesser quality top layer from the rock bed, but it also increased the quantity of crushed stone which was created in the process. The debris was hauled in wagonettes and offloaded into the sea. The sea’s appetite for crushed stone was virtually insatiable. Whatever debris could not be swallowed remained on the coast and formed the most beautiful white beaches.

The quarries, overgrown with cypress trees, no longer resonate with calls, such as fire in the hole, which was meant to prepare the 46

CROATIA AIRLINES

quarrymen for an explosion that was about to split a major rock. Once the dust settled, they would go and check if everything had gone well and whether the rock had cracked in the right place.

The first stoneworkers resided in neighbouring places - Lumbarda, Korčula, Žrnovo. They sailed across the sea every day to come to work on Vrnik, spending only an occasional night in their workshops. Gradually, some started moving to the island with their families and built houses there. The island is believed to have been resettled in the 17th century.

The first settlers, the Portolan, Peručić and Kučija families were followed by the Foretić and Fabris families. The first stonemasons› brotherhood, St. Matthew, was also founded in that century as a religious and welfare association whose tasks included the guildlike protection of its members. Common funds were used to support the sick members and orphaned children; contributions were made towards the young girls› dowries, weddings and funerals. All brotherhoods had their rules, their church patrons, churches, chapels or at least altars, and very often, they had their designated meeting places, the so-called scholas, their common halls and special attire that they wore during religious processions.

The baroque church of the Visitation of Our Lady was constructed in the 17th century, in 1674 to be more precise. The charmingly modest building boasts a colourful marble incrustation in the altar stone which was built by Tomo Azali, one of the most active representatives of the centuries’ long stonemasonry tradition in Korčula. His commissions all over the Southern Dalmatian coast included work on the Korčula Cathedral. He was the protomaster for the building of the three-nave base of the cathedral in Hvar; he delivered the carved parts for the façade and belfry of the cathedral in Kotor; he built the Arneri Villa in Blato. The Church of the Visitation of Our Lady is assumed to be one of his last commissions.

The current caretakers of the church are the islanders, who decorate its altar with starched lace and fresh flowers. For those of you who may be passing by the church at night: the soft dreamlike light coming through its har-

moniously understated rosette is the light of a candle lit for one of the islanders who have set out on a journey.

The oldest building on Vrnik is the 15th century Gabrieli-Ismaeli family manor house which was completely restored a few years ago. Although its shape indicates a possible defensive role, the owners, a noble family from Korčula, used it as their summer residence.

The Church of Our Lady of the Island, which was erected at the beginning of last century, is the dominant feature of the island vista such as can be seen from the Krmače promontory on the island of Korčula. This is the closest point of land, on which a parking lot has been built. The church, with its rounded, almost sensuous apse, is the best illustration of the kind of work that the island’s master stonemasons were able to produce. Their successors will not fail to draw your attention to the fact that there is virtually no space between the huge stone blocks from which it was built; there are no seams between them. They were hewn with such precision that they rest snugly one on top of the other, in the fashion of a Doric temple. Right next to the church is the school building which was in function until the end of the 50’s when electricity was brought to the island.

Still, when the stone quarry was closed, life started disappearing from the island. At that time, tourism was still a pie in the sky and the island populace started dissipating and finding livelihood first in Korčula, Dubrovnik and Split, then in Zagreb and the rest of the world. The process was not reversed even when water pipes were laid in the eighties of last century. Tourists have come, but even they have failed to bring the islanders back to their island.

The school is now closed, locked. In summer, clouds of dust are raised in the square by children who gather in front of it to play hide and seek. Their voices resound across the empty classrooms and corridors, through the abandoned teacher’s quarters, the so-called meštrija, echoing the former students’ buzz.

An occasional window pane gets broken and is quickly replaced by the islanders, and the school plunges into darkness and silence once more, even during the summer season.

It is hard to believe today that plebeian education on Vrnik spanned almost a hundred years between 1868 and 1958; owing to the chaplains and heads of the island, as many as 18 teachers took turns working during that time.

No effort was spared to make the children’s school days lighter. Without a school on the island, they would have had to travel across the stormy sea, half a mile to Lumbarda or

about two miles to the town of Korčula. The most important goal, however, was to keep them on the island and have them continue the island’s stonemasonry tradition.

The nearby dance podium has also not been used for many a summer. There are a few wooden boats on it, pulled to shore and condemned to a slow death. In the meantime, they serve as home to flower pots with geraniums and agaves. There was a time when the tune of accordions often brought islanders to this dance floor and engaged them in a sirotica, the popular island dance which has since been forgotten.

During the tourist season, both the island and the parking lot at Krmača become almost too small for all those who descend upon the island. Interestingly enough, at the beginning of the 90’s, thus not so long ago, when you came down to the stone jetty, all you had to do was shout across the channel and announce your presence. Whoever heard you first would hop into their boat and come fetch you. Today, chances are that nobody would as much as bat an eyelash if they heard you shouting from the shore. If you had not made previous arrangements or booked a taxi boat you could end up waiting for hours for somebody to ferry you across. The islanders themselves say that once there used to be a sense of unity and accord on the island; that the islanders pulled together as one, in work as well as in play. People no longer seem to flock together as they used to, not even in summer. They do not sit together on the benches in front of the church or on the stone seafront. The bocce playground has also been neglected, overgrown. The islanders have isolated themselves and they mind their own business.

Still, at least once every summer, a big event is organized on the island - be it a concert or a play performed by a travelling troupe of actors.

It is sponsored by the natives of Korčula and participating islanders, those who showed entrepreneurial spirit and bought property on the island some thirty or forty years ago when it could be had for a song. The Popović house, once a summer retreat for popular actors, rises to the occasion and lends its theatre, modelled after a real Greek open air theatre where the spectators’ terraces, which follow the natural slopes of the terrain, command an excellent view of the stage. On that day, infallibly in August, the young lend a hand and make countless journeys across the sea ferrying guests to the island and back.

Visitors are offered indigenous island produce, locally handcrafted souvenirs, liqueurs made from lemon, carob or roses. You will find the latter one to be an important ingredient for

the preparation of homemade rožata, as well as the inspiration behind the sweet delicacy’s name. One can also taste the medicinal herbal brandy made only with herbs locally grown on Vrnik. A workshop is organized at which they teach you how to make the drink yourself. There are also cakes typical of Korčula: kroštule, amareti, klašuni and cukarini.

Numerous children visit Vrnik in the summertime; occasionally, a real Olympic Games for kids is organized, featuring old-time events, such as tug of war or the sack race, and all participants get colourful ribbons in the end.

The island’s surface stretches across one third of a square kilometre. You can easily cover it on foot, for the most part along the seaside path. And then, having climbed to the altitude

of some 50 meters above sea level, before you enter the thicket, take a moment to enjoy the subdued murmur of the wind which can always be heard across the cypress tops.

Delight in the view of the glittering navy blue sea and the islands: from enchanting Bisače where perfectly rounded pebbles have been moulded by in the island’s karrens, where seagulls live and die among the immortelle and myrtle bushes and the view stretches all the way to the Sestrice lighthouse. Then continue your stroll, look for a passage in the paths overgrown with evergreen Mediterranean oak and head for Punta. You will find it overgrown with heather on the north and laurel on its south side. The mystical silence which reigns there will take you by surprise - as if by a miracle, you will not hear a thing - either crickets or birds, although they tend to provide a relentless acoustic background down by the sea.

Swimming around the island is no tall order either. The coastline extends for slightly more than two kilometres and guarantees a good swimmer a sightseeing opportunity from a very unique perspective.

In wintertime, the closed shutters indicate that there is nobody home in the thirty or so

houses on the island, which no longer bear numbers. The gates to their gardens are bolted and the front doors are locked.

Silence falls on the island as early as autumn.

In October, overripe pomegranates burst open and their juices flow generously, albeit for nobody to relish. Self-grown bearberries ripen and bloom at the same time, offering their berries to nobody but Vrnik’s feathered dwellers. A stroll across the island in December will reveal lemon and orange tree bows crushing under their heavy load. The islanders residing in Korčula come only on weekends, when the weather is nice; they pick the fragrant fruits in their gardens, pack them in cardboard boxes and send them off on buses bound for Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik to their relatives who live there. Once they sail back home, the silence on the island becomes even more profound. For a while, an occasional mistrustful tomcat will be the only stroller along its deserted paths.

Only the sweeping flight of a solitary seagull, separated from its flock, will disturb the peace of this island, of this miraculous, healing glory, of your personal Umbraculum, your solitary, shady sanctuary tucked far away from the rage and tumult of the world. 

adar je zbog rada cijele turističke zajednice dobio prestižno priznanje, ispred turističkih meka Europe, Pariza, Londona, Rima, Barcelone, Praga…

Pobjeda Zadra, proglašavanjem najboljim europskim odredištem, priznanje je ukupnome hrvatskom turizmu, a tako se Zadar pozicionirao na turističkim kartama svijeta i iskazao svoju osobitost i identitet. Koliko se god Hrvatska činila mala u usporedbi sa svjetskim silama, svako novo priznanje Hrvatskoj podsjeti nas da živimo na veoma lijepom dijelu planeta Zemlje.

Zadarske morske orgulje dospjele su tako u dio udžbenika jedne škole u New Yorku, kao svjetska senzacija, a poglavlje music of the sea, nalazi se u vježbenici neke osnovne škole u Velikoj Britaniji. Poznati umjetnici svijeta rekli su da Zadar s pogledom na srednjodalmatinske otoke ima najljepše zalaske sunca na svijetu, pa je tako i nastao Pozdrav suncu, gdje se u postavljenim staklenim pločama na obali uživa u sunčevu zalasku. Sve to uz bogatu i burnu povijest čini Zadar poželjnim turističkim odredištem.

Zadar je drevni grad sagrađen na središnjem dijelu hrvatskoga Jadranskog mora. Datira tri tisuće godina unatrag, grad duge burne

i dinamične povijesti, često rušen, pljačkan i razaran, a svaki bi put iz ruševina izrastao jači, ljepši i bogatiji. U povijesti se Zadar prvi put pojavljuje u četvrtom stoljeću prije Krista kao naselje ilirskog plemena Liburni, spominje se oblik imena Jader, a prolazeći povijesni put, ime se mijenja u Idassa (grčki izvor), Jadera (rimski izvor), Diadora, Zara (za vladavine Venecije i poslije Italije) do današnjeg imena Zadar.

Nakon 59 g. pr. Krista postaje kolonija rimskih gradova. Pod vladavinom Rimljana, Zadar poprima obilježje grada s pravilnom mrežom ulica i sagrađenim glavnim trgom - forumom, a do njega povišeni kapitolij s hramom. U sedmom stoljeću Zadar postaje središte (glavni grad) bizantskog temata provincije Dalmacije.

U početku devetog stoljeća Zadar se spominje kao sjedište biskupa Donata i bizantskog vođe Paulusa. U tom razdoblju podiže se na rimskom forumu crkva Presvetog Trojstva, danas sv. Donata, za koju se može reći da je znamen grada Zadra. Veće naseljavanje Hrvata zabilježeno je u 10. stoljeću. Iz toga vremena sačuvani su temelji romaničke crkve Svete Marije, te crkve sv. Krševana i katedrale sv. Stošije.

U početku trinaestog stoljeća grad spaljuju križari i Mlečani. Poslije toga grade se prve gotičke crkve u Dalmaciji, sv. Franje i sv. Dominika, a od umjetničkog blaga tog vremena

treba izdvojiti pozlaćenu srebrnu škrinju - kovčeg sv. Šimuna. A 15. i 16. stoljeće obilježeni su značajnim aktivnostima hrvatskih pisaca koji pišu na narodnome hrvatskom jeziku, Petar Zoranić, Brne Karnarutić, Šime Budinić, Jerolim Vidulić.

Nakon Venecije prvi put vlast nad Zadrom preuzimaju Austrijanci na kraju osamnaestog stoljeća, a poslije Francuzi od 1806. do 1813.g.

Druga austrijska vlast potrajala je do kraja Prvoga svjetskog rata 1918. godine, a Zadar i dalje zadržava status glavnoga grada kraljevine Dalmacije i sjedište je dalmatinskog sabora i Arheološki muzej / Archaeological Museum

crkvene metropolije za čitavu Dalmaciju. Rapalskim ugovorom Zadar je 1920. godine pripojen Italiji kao enklava na istočnoj obali Jadrana. U njezinu sastavu Zadar je ostao sve do kraja Drugoga svjetskog rata u kojemu je tijekom teških savezničkih bombardiranja razoreno sedamdeset posto povijesne jezgre grada.

Gotovo potpuno razoren i napušten, napokon je pripojen Hrvatskoj u sklopu Federativne Jugoslavije.

Nakon proglašenja neovisnosti Republike Hrvatske i srpske agresije na Hrvatsku, Zadar i njegovo zaleđe napadnuti su u listopadu 1991. godine neviđenom silom kako bi se osvojio i uništio grad. Sam grad bio je u potpunom okruženju više puta granatiran i najbrutalnije razaran, a znatno je oštećena stoljetna povijesna arhitektura.

Danas je grad Zadar sačuvani spomenik različitih povijesnih vremena i kultura, koje su postavile granice i vidljive konture njegova urbana izgleda, a kao i tijekom mimulih stoljeća burne povijesti, čuvaju ga i dalje njegova četiri sveca zaštitnika: sv. Krševan, sv. Šimun, sv.

Stošija i sv. Zoilo. Zadar je danas poveznica trajektima s većinom srednjodalmatinskih otoka, a sve više stranih turista ne prolazi samo kroz Zadar, nego kao sve zahtjevniji turistički

globtroteri ostaju u Zadru na ljetovanju zbog bogatih muzejskih zbirki, sakralnih i svjetovnih građevina, koje su nasreću sačuvane tijekom povijesti, te, dakako, zbog bogate gastronomske ponude i obilja atraktivnih mjesta za  provod, zabavu, odmor i uživanje.

T

hanks to the efforts of the entire tourist board, Zadar won this prestigious award in a competition that included European tourism meccas, such as Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, Prague… Zadar’s victory and proclamation as the best European destination is recognition for Croatian tourism as a whole, not to mention it has put Zadar itself on the global tourism map, revealing its personality and identity to the world. As small and insignificant as Croatia may seem next to global powers, each new acknowledgement reminds us that we live on a really beautiful part of planet Earth.

Zadar’s sea organ made it into a New York school textbook and was a global sensation, while an elementary school textbook in Great Britain contains a chapter called, Music of the Sea. World renowned artists have said that Zadar, with its view of the Central Dalmatian islands, has the most beautiful sunsets in the world, and that is what inspired the Greeting

Zadar is an ancient city built on the Central Adriatic coast of Croatia. It is three thousand years old, and it has had a long, turbulent and dynamic past. It was often destroyed and pillaged, but each time, it would rise from the ruins stronger, richer and more beautiful than before. The first mention of Zadar dates back to the 4th century BC as a settlement of an Illyrian tribe of Liburnians called Jader.

Throughout history, it has been referred to as Idassa (Greek source), Jadera (Roman source), Diadora and Zara (during Venetian rule and after Italy), and finally Zadar, the contemporary name.

After 59 BC, it became a colony of Roman cities. Ruled by the Romans, Zadar became a city with an even grid of streets and a main square - the forum, with an elevated capitolium and a temple. In the 7th century, Zadar became the centre (capital city) of the Byzantine province of Dalmatia. At the beginning of the 9th century, Zadar was mentioned as the seat of Bishop Donatus and Byzantine 66

ruler Paulus. During this period, the church of Holy Trinity, nowadays called the Church of St. Donatus, one of the main landmarks in the city, was built on the Roman Forum. The first major inhabitation of Croats occurred in the 10th century. Foundations of the Roman church of St. Mary, as well as the churches of St. Chrysogonus and the cathedral of St. Anastasia of Sirmium are the remains mostly preserved from that period. At the beginning of the 13th century, the city was burned to the ground by the Crusaders and the Venetians. After that, the first Gothic churches in Dalmatia, St Francis and St. Dominic, were constructed, out of which came the most valuable artefact from the period - the gilded silver chest of St. Simeon. The 15th and 16th centuries were marked by significant activity

by Croatian writers who wrote in the national Croatian language, including Petar Zoranić, Brne Karnarutić, Šime Budinić, Jerolim Vidulić…

After Venice, Austrians took over the rule of Zadar for the first time in the late 18th century, and later, it was ruled by the French between 1806 and 1813. The second Austrian rule lasted until the end of the First World War in 1918, while Zadar remained the capital city of the Kingdom of Dalmatia as well as the seat of

the Dalmatian parliament and the ecclesiastical province of Dalmatia. With the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920, Zadar became part of Italy as an enclave on the eastern side of the Adriatic. Zadar remained part of Italy until the end of the Second World War, when seventy percent of the historic city centre was destroyed by heavy allied bombardment.

Almost completely destroyed and abandoned, it finally became part of Croatia within the Federative Republic of Yugoslavia.

After the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Croatia and the Serbian aggression on Croatia, Zadar and its hinterland were ferociously attacked in October of 1991. The city was surrounded, shelled numerous times and brutally destroyed, while the centuries old historic architecture was once again significantly damaged.

Nowadays, Zadar is a monument to different historic periods and cultures, which have set the boundaries and the visible outlines of its urban image; throughout many turbulent centuries, it has been protected by four of its patron saints: St. Chrysogonus, St. Simeon, St. Anastasia of Sirmium and St. Zoilus. Zadar is, nowadays, also a hub for ferry connections with most central Dalmatian islands, and an increasing number of tourists and demanding globetrotters do not just pass through Zadar anymore, but spend their entire holidays there, enjoying diverse museum collections and sacral and secular architecture, which has, fortunately, been well-preserved throughout history; of course, tourists can also enjoy the rich local cuisine and partake in the many things to do and see there - whether they be for entertainment or for rest and relaxation. î ?

voju romantiku Samobor podastire u svako godišnje doba, osvaja ili cvjetnim slapovima što s prozora vise na rijeku Gradnu, ili šuštavim lišćem po gradskim parkovima, ili bajkovitom zimskom bjelinom oko kapelica poput opjevane sv.

Ane, ili proljetnim stazama po zelenilu okolnih brežuljaka Stražnika, Hajdovčaka i Gradišća.

To je tek eksterijer za šetnju koju, htjeli-ne htjeli, morate završiti degustirajući zamamne okuse i mirise Sanobora, kako Samobor zovu domaćim kajkavskim u brojnim vedrim napitnicama poput one koja desetljećima nasmijava jer Samoborci piju vino z lonci, a Samoborke piju z demižonke. I brbljava Sraka, središnji lik ove godine već 190. samoborskog fašnika, umije se šaliti na vlastiti račun, ali i nagovarajući svakoga da stavi masku, jer bedaki noriju saki dan, a pametni samo na fašnik.

Očekuju vas cijele godine, baš kao i brojni šarmantni, pitoreskni lokali, od gostionice Gabrek 1929., koja tradiciju nosi i u imenu i u tanjuru, kao i Stara vura, Samoborska klet, Samoborska pivnica, Lavica, Livadić sve do novijih kao što je Zeleni papar.

Vikendom su sa samoborčeka, uskotračnoga otvorenog vlaka, visjeli grozdovi raspjevanih izletnika.

Od svega što su nekad kod kuće iznosili na stol, sva turbulentna vremena preživio je, i u nacionalnim okvirima popularan, samoborski kotlet, a, nekad uglavnom sajamska ili proštenička, ponovno osvaja i samoborska kotlovina, ukusno jelo iz šešira od različitih vrsta mesa, koje je, razlikovnom od svih drugih kotlovina sjeverozapadne Hrvatske, učinio komadić svježega bunceka.

Preporuke zaslužuju i jela od namirnica uzgojenih ili ubranih u okolici, poput riječne ribe, posebice dimljene pastrve, šumskih gljiva i slično. Uza svako će vam jelo Samoborci ponuditi i lokalno vino. Ne propustite kušati ona koja nude desetljećima, primjerice portugizac i cviček, te gemišt i špricer, baš kao u kultnome hrvatskom filmu Tko pjeva, zlo ne misli.

Ne zaboravite ponijeti i neki od samoborskih gastrosuvenira. Samoborski licitar nije nužno uobičajeno slikovito srdašce s ljubavnom porukom nego još slikovitiji pjetlić prešarena repa koji će vam, kad god ga pogledate, popraviti raspoloženje. Dvojite li između bermeta, likeradesertnog vina od mošta i pelina, i muštarde, zanimljivoga senfa koji odlično pristaje uza svaku, a osobito samoborsku češnjovku i uz kuhano meso i pečenke, ponesite oba ta proizvoda koje živim održava obitelj Filipec.

Podsjetit će vas na vremena kada je Samobor pohodila Napoleonova armada ostavivši nesvakidašnju ukusnu ostavštinu.

Poduzetni i maštoviti Samoborci, oslobođeni vlastelinskoga gospodstva u svome kraljevskom trgovištu još od Kolomana i Bele IV. u 13. stoljeću, nisu zadovoljni samo povijesnom gastronomskom baštinom, nego nove doživljaje stvaraju osmišljavajući i brojne priredbe.

Poslije fašnika, u početku ožujka, organizirali su ponovno bitku kod Samobora kao 1441., kada se vojska kraljice-udovice Elizabete i moćnih grofova celjskih sudarila s vojskom poljskoga kralja Vladislava Jagelovića. Slijedio je Samoborski proljetni sajam i 29. samoborska salamijada. U početku srpnja trodnevni 31. dani rudarske greblice, s jelom zaštićenim kao nematerijalna nacionalna baština, dočekuju goste u Rudama, uz rudnik, dakako. U rujnu slijede Samoborski medni dani i Tisućljeća kulinarstva u Parku prirode Žumberak Samoborsko gorje s pretpovijesnim slastima.

Martinje, u studenome, ponovno će krstiti mošt i peći kestene iz samoborskih šuma.

Dio svoje gastrobaštine Samoborci su sačuvali uknjiženom i u monografiji Samobor (prvo izdanje 1915., pretisak 1992.) Milana Langa, Kuharici bake Ivke (2006.) Milana Žegarca Peharnika, Maloj samoborskoj kuharici (2013.)

zanimljivo je povezana s gradskom poviješću i kulturom. Julijani Chantilly zaljubljeni Stanko Vraz još je 1837. ispjevao slavne Đulabije: (Ljubice nemila/Ti moj nepokoju!...). Pjesnici se i danas okupljaju na Ljubici slaveći besmrtnu

ljubav, a Samoborci iznenađuju i slatkom kremom Chantilly, Ljubičinom prezimenjakinjom, koja također potječe iz ugledne samoborske ljekarničke obitelji nesuđene Vrazove ljubavi. Iz zaborava su Samoborci, da se osladi tko voli, u ponudu izvukli i tortu od badema, naranača, oraha i marmelade od ribiza, nazvanu po Mariji Hotković, gorljivoj pripadnici Ilirskoga pokreta, kojoj je slavni Samoborac Ferdo Livadić posvetio znameniti Nocturno u fis-molu. No, ako vam je makar po glazbenome ukusu bliskiji, nećete pogriješiti ni s omiljenim, još jednim duhovitim samoborskim gastroljubavnim savjetom: Koj’ na srcu ima feler, navek mora jesti celer! 

amobor is romantic at all times of the year; it wins over visitors with its cascades of flowers which flow from the balconies over the Gradna River, and the rustling leaves scattered across the town parks, as well as the magical winter whiteness around the numerous chapels, such as the famous Chapel of St. Ana, and the green spring paths of the surrounding hills of Stražnik, Hajdovčak and Gradišće.

This, however, is just one part of a stroll, which must end, whether you like it or not, by sampling the rich flavours and aromas of Sanobor - which is how the locals refer to Samobor in their kajkavian dialect in numerous jolly drinking songs, including the one that has been a source of laughter for many decades: The men of Samobor drink wine from cups, and the women of Samobor drink 76

it straight from the bottle. Even chatty Sraka, the main character of the Samobor Carnival, taking place in its 190th edition this year, can make jokes at its own expense, but also goes around persuading everyone to wear a mask because only fools go crazy every day, while smart people only do it during carnival. One can enjoy the doughnuts and cremschnitte of Samobor at the very least! Numerous charming and picturesque restaurants are open for business all year round, such as Gabrek 1929, which reflects tradition in its name and dishes alike, Stara Vura, Samoborska Klet, Samoborska Pivnica, Lavica and Livadić, as well as newer establishments such as Zeleni Papar. As soon as the weather becomes warmer, the entire main square becomes a large town terrace.

What to eat? Depending on personal taste and the season of the year, one can expect to find the old fashioned dishes of Samobor, such as češnjovke (garlic) sausages and blood sausages served with stewed sauerkraut, or excellent fresh cheese and cream and salami, which sparked the tradition of Salamijada - the Samobor salami festival, which took place in its 29th edition this March, and the renowned Salami of Samobor brand in general. Among the many dishes served on household tables for numerous generations, all of the turbulent times were survived by the nationally popular Samobor cutlets. Also popular is the Samobor kotlovina, a tasty mixed meat platter, distinguished from similar dishes of north-western Croatia by the addition of fresh ham hock, and it is mostly served at fairs and carnivals.

Dishes made from produce coming from the surroundings of Samobor, such as freshwater fish, especially smoked trout, forest mushrooms and such, are also well worth a mention. The locals of Samobor will offer homegrown wine with each dish. Make sure to taste the ones with decades long traditions, such as Portugieser and Cviček, as well as spritzers made popular by the Croatian cult classic film - One Song a Day Takes Mischief Away.

Don’t forget to take some of the gastro souvenirs of Samobor with you. The licitar of Samobor is not always a commonplace, colourfully decorated heart shaped biscuit featuring a love message, but it can also be an even more colourful rooster with a decorated tail, the sight of which immediately improves one’s mood. If you are deciding between bermet, a dessert wine liqueur made from must and wormwood, or muštarda, an interesting sort of mustard which goes perfectly with any kind of sausages and meat, we recommend you get both products from the Filipec family. It will remind you of the times when Napoleon’s

armada passed through Samobor, leaving an unusually tasty legacy.

Business minded and imaginative citizens of Samobor, freed from the rule of nobility since King Coloman and Bela IV in the 13th century, have not satisfied themselves with their historic gastronomic heritage, but they have instead created new experiences by introducing numerous events. After carnival, in early March, there was a re-enactment of the 1441 Battle of Samobor, when the army of widowed Queen Elisabeth and the powerful Counts of Celje clashed with the army of Polish King Vladislaus II. The Samobor Spring Fair and the 29th Samobor Salamijada are scheduled after that. In early July, during a three-day event marking the 31st Miners’ Cake Day, greblica, a cake protected as intangible national heritage, will welcome guests at Rude - next to the mine, of course.

September is time for the Samobor Honey Days, featuring the most modern sweet treats, as well as the Millennia of Cooking at the Žumberak Nature Park - Samoborsko Gorje, featuring ancient sweet treats. During St. Martin’s Day, in November, locals will once again be christening must and roasting chestnuts from the Samobor woods.

The locals of Samobor have preserved part of their gastronomic heritage in print in the monograph Samobor (first edition 1915, reprint 1992) by Milan Lang, The Cookbook of Grandma Ivka (2006) by Milan Žegarac Peharnik, The Little Cookbook of Samobor (2013) by Lela Roćenović, All Gourmet Paths Lead to Samobor, etc. The culture of the Samobor table is interestingly tied to the city’s past and culture. Back in 1837, love-struck Stanko Vraz wrote his famous Đulabije: (Ljubica unmerciful/You are my trepidation!) for Julijana Chantilly. Poets gather at Ljubica to this day, celebrating immortal love, while the locals of Samobor also surprise with sweet Chantilly cream, Ljubica’s namesake, which also stems from the renowned family of Samobor pharmacists that Vraz’s would-be love belonged to. Fans will be glad to know that the cake made from almonds, oranges, walnuts and currant marmalade, named after Marija Hotković, an outspoken member of the Illyrian movement, whom the renowned resident of Samobor - Ferdo Livadić dedicated his Nocturno in F-sharp minor to, has been saved from oblivion by the locals. Another piece of witty advice, popularized in a song which originates from Samobor and draws inspiration from food and love, may be your cup of (musical) tea: For all ailments cardiac, always eat celeriac!  78

Sedmu godinu zaredom Vitezovi zelingradski stoluju u svome gradu, koji postaje prava turistička atrakcija. Tada ostavljaju svoje mobitele i ostala elektronička čuda današnje tehnike i na puna tri dana odlaze u daleku prošlost.

Turisti mogu vidjeti doista pravi mali srednjovjekovni grad.

For the seventh year in a row, the Knights of Zelingrad dwell in their city, which then becomes a true tourist attraction. They leave their mobile phones and other electronic gadgets behind and make a three-day journey into the distant past. Tourists will then be able to see a real small medieval town.

S

v. Ivan Zelina gradić je samo tridesetak kilometara udaljen od Zagreba.

Kao spomenik kulture i povijesne baštine zelinskog kraja svojim značenjem ističe se Zelingrad, srednjovjekovni castrum koji se nalazi na sjeveroistočnim obroncima Medvednice, 5 km sjeverno od grada Sveti Ivan Zelina. U povijesnim izvorima spominje se pod raznim imenima, kao Zelyn, Zelna, Zelnawar, ponekad kao castrum, a ponekad kao castellum. Sagrađen je u godinama nakon provale Tatara, a prvi put spominje se u ispravi iz 1295. godine kada se u njemu nalazio kaštelan s kraljevskom posadom. Sedmu godinu zaredom Vitezovi zelingradski stoluju u svome gradu, koji postaje prava turistička atrakcija.

Osnovani su 2007. godine kao udruga koja se bavi proučavanjem srednjovjekovne povijesti i načina života svoga grada iz 15. i 16. stoljeća.

Vitezovi zelingradski imaju 35 članova specijaliziranih za pojedina područja poput mačevanja, bojnih naprava, streličarstva, vatrenog oružja, konjaništva, srednjovjekovne kuhinje, srednjovjekovnih kostima i numizmatike.

Udruga ima bogat srednjovjekovni viteški tabor s desetak šatora i mnogo viteške opreme, zbog čega je rado viđen gost na brojnim viteškim događanjima u Hrvatskoj te širom Europe. Članovi udruge i sami izrađuju svu potrebnu opremu prema pravilima srednjovjekovne struke, dakle starim alatima i vještinama.

Udruga surađuje s više od 50 srodnih viteških udruga, asocijacija, te raznih drugih skupina i entuzijasta u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu. Jedan je od najvećih viteških turnira Bitka kod Svete Helene nadomak Sv. Ivanu Zelini, a ove godine održat će se od 1. do 3. srpnja u čast pobjede hrvatske vojske protiv Turaka 1557. godine.

Stari bazeni kraj Svete Helene vratit će vas nekoliko stoljeća unatrag u neka romantičnija vremena. Kao i proteklih godina, najavljeni su vitezovi iz Poljske, Mađarske, Slovenije, Njemačke, Austrije te Italije. Svi oni puna tri dana i noći živjet će u srednjovjekovnim šatorima, a neki od njih i pod vedrim nebom spremajući hranu u kotlovima kraj otvorene vatre. Vitezovi tada ostavljaju svoje mobitele i ostala elektronička čuda današnje tehnike i na puna tri dana odlaze u daleku prošlost.

Turisti tada mogu vidjeti doista pravi mali srednjovjekovni grad, sprave za mučenje, trgovinu kakva je nekoć bila, alate, oružje, kao i do dvadesetak kilograma teške viteške oklope...

Valja napomenuti da je oružje iskovano baš kao što se to nekoć radilo, a riječ je o pravom oružju. Borbe su doista prave srednjovjekovne i bez simulacija, a dopušteno je sve osim uboda, koji su zabranjeni. Turisti i posjetitelji doslovno mogu uživati gledajući povijesni spektakl kao iz vremeplova. Osim hrabrih i već pomalo zaboravljenih vitezova koje krasi istinsko viteštvo, rivalstvo i odanost spram dama, ovdje možete sresti i princeze ratnice poput Xene, koje se bore jednakom žestinom, pa čak i bolje od mnogih vitezova muške populacije. Vitezovi, ratnice, dame, štitonoše i ostali srednjovjekovni puk ljudi su različitih profila zanimanja, a sve njih zajedno veže ljubav prema nekim davnim zaboravljenim i romantičnim vremenima kada je viteška čast i odanost, za razliku od današnjih vremena, bila način života i osobno zadovoljstvo. Na samo pola sata vožnje od Zagreba vrijedi vidjeti uživo spektakl koji ste dosad gledali samo na filmu.

Zavirite u prošlost kušajući srednjovjekovne specijalitete i izvrsna zelinska vina, uživajući u prizorima povijesti kakvu još niste vidjeli... osim možda na filmu. 

v. Ivan Zelina is a small town, only about 30 km from Zagreb. The principal cultural and historical heritage monument of the Zelina region is Zelingrad, a medieval castrum situated on the north-east slopes of Medvednica Mountain, 5 km to the north of Sveti Ivan Zelina. In historical sources, it is mentioned under different names, such as Zelyn, Zelna, Zelnawar, sometimes as castrum, and other times as castellum. It was built after the Tatar invasion, and was first mentioned in a 1295 document, when it was occupied by the military commander and the royal crew. For the seventh year in a row, the Knights of Zelingrad dwell in their city, which then becomes a true tourist attraction. They were founded in 2007 as an association for studying medieval history and the city’s way of life in the 15th and 16th centuries.

With their 35 members, the Knights of Zelingrad have specialized in individual fields, such as fencing, battle equipment, archery, cavalry, medieval cuisine, costumes and numismatics.

The association has a medieval knights’ encampment with a dozen tents and an abundance of medieval equipment, which makes it a welcome guest at numerous knight events across Croatia and around Europe. Members of the association also make all the necessary equipment in accordance with the rules of medieval trade, that is, they use old-fashioned tools and skills. The association works with more than 50 similar knights’ associations and other diverse organizations and enthusiasts in Croatia and abroad. One of the largest knights’ tournaments is the Battle of Sveta Helena near Sv. Ivan Zelina, which will be held this year from July 1-3, commemorating the victory of the Croatian army against the Ottoman Empire in 1557. The former swimming pools near Sveta Helena will take visitors back several centuries to more romantic times. Like in previous years, the arrival of knights from Poland, Hungary, Germany, Austria and Italy is expected. They will spend three full days and nights in medieval tents, some of them under the stars, preparing their food in cauldrons over an open fire. The knights will leave their mobile phones and other electronic gadgets behind and make a three-day journey into the distant past. Tourists will then be able to see a real small medieval town, torturing devices, trade as it once was, tools, weapons, and armor weighing up to 20 kg... It should be noted that the weapons are real and have been forged using traditional methods. The fights are also authentically medieval with no simulations, and everything is allowed except moves causing bodily harm. Tourists and visitors are truly able to enjoy a historical spectacle as if they had travelled back in time. In addition to the courageous and somewhat forgotten knights who are distinguished by true gallantry, rivalry and chivalry towards ladies, here you can encounter warrior princesses like Xena, who fight as fiercely as, and sometimes even better than many knights of the male sex.

Knights, women warriors, ladies, squires and other medieval folk of different professions are brought together by their shared love of ancient, forgotten and romantic times, when knightly honour and loyalty, unlike today, was a way of life and a sense of personal gratification. It is well worth your time to see the live spectacle, only a half an hour’s drive from Zagreb. Take a peek into the past, taste medieval delicacies and Zelina’s excellent wines, savoring historical scenes unlike anything you have seen before... except maybe on film!  84

Lisabon je smješten na estuarijskom ušću rijeke Tejo, koja se tu ulijeva u beskonačnost Atlantika, kao hvatište lepeze držeći se europskog kopna i otvarajući se prema novim svjetovima i drugim kontinentima. Lučki je to grad, dinamičan i bučan, koji živi u nekom svom ritmu, neopterećen svojim izgledom.

Lisabon is located on the estuary of the Tagus River, which flows into the infiniteness of the Atlantic Ocean like the handle of a fan, holding on to the European mainland and opening up to a new world and continents. It is a port city, dynamic and noisy, living its own rhythm, unburdened by the way it looks.

isabon je grad raznolikosti i iznenađenja, u koji se zaljubite na prvi pogled.

Pročelja šarenih boja, okićena šarenim keramičkim pločicama azulejos i crnobijeli neravni pločnici detalji su zbog kojih je Lisabon jedinstven.

Unatoč svemu što je donijelo novo doba i globalizacija, čini se kao da je tu vrijeme stalo.

Ni Feničani, niti Kartažani nisu zaobišli to mjesto, a Rimljani su tu osnovali centar provincije Luzitanije, pod nazivom Olissippio, u kojemu se konzervirala riba za cijelo carstvo.

U 12. st. preci današnjih Portugalaca potisnuli su Arape iz tog dijela Pirenejskog poluotoka i osnovali svoju državu, danas jednu od najstarijih u Europi, i smjestili svoju prijestolnicu upravo ovdje.

U 16. st. velika otkrića preobrazila su Lisabon, pretvorivši ga u središte tadašnjeg svijeta.

Na svakom koraku u ovoj zemlji i ovom gradu srest ćete se s poviješću velikih otkrića, Henrikom Pomorcem, Vascom da Gamom, Magellanom i ostalima. I najveći portugalski ep Os Lusíadas Luísa Camõesa nastao je na putovanjima velikih otkrića.

U tom razdoblju nastaje i autohtoni manuelinski stil u arhitekturi, portugalska visoka gotika, inspirirana dekorativnim elementima s pomorskih putovanja i biljnim elementima iz novih svjetova. Dobio je naziv po portugalskom kralju Manuelu I., za čije vladavine je počela pomorska ekspanzija Portugala i stvoren imperij, koji se prostirao gotovo na svim kontinentima.

Deklinij portugalskog imperija i Lisabona s njim kulminirao je 1755. g., katastrofalnim potresom i plimnim valom, koji su potpuno uništili grad.

Jezgra grada i danas se proteže duž osi koju tvori najveća lisabonska avenija Avenida da Liberdade što se proteže od Parka Eduarda VII do Praça dos Restauradores i preko trga Rossio (Praça de D. Pedro IV), te dalje Baixom i velikim slavolukom do Praça do Comercio sve do rijeke Tejo. Za gradnju tog dijela grada zaslužan je markiz Pombal, čiji spomenik dominira na početku te glavne osi Lisabona.

Malim uskim ulicama, uspinjačama i dizalom inženjera iz Eiffelova ureda u Parizu, možete se popeti do Chiada, gdje se nalazi Convento do Carmo, ruševine gotičke katedrale, niz baroknih crkava, kazališta, muzeji i trgovačka zona i dalje Bairro Alto, jedan od centara noćnog života Lisabona s nizom restorana, barova, noćnih klubova i diskoteka, nazvan The Best Place for Young People.

S druge strane doći ćete na Bairro da Alfama, Bairro Graça i Castelo São Jorge. To su najstariji dijelovi Lisabona s ostacima antičkog kazališta, maurskom utvrdom, romaničkom

Postoje i drugi jednako značajni dijelovi Lisabona, na istoku Parque das Nações, dio grada nastao na prostorima na kojima je održana svjetska izložba EXPO ´98, s najvećim europskim oceanarijem u kojemu možete vidjeti više od 450 vrsta morske faune i flore, i mostom Vasco da Gama, drugim najduljim mostom u Europi, dugim 17,2 km, sagrađenim preko rijeke Tejo. Tu se možete provozati žičarom i uživati u pogledu na most i okolicu.

Na putu prema Parque das Nações nalazi se jedan od najstarijih lisabonskih samostana, zadužbina kraljice Leonor, s crkvom Madre de Deus, u kojem je danas smješten Museu Nacional do Azulejo, jedinstven u svijetu, muzej keramičkih pločica.

Na putu prema zapadu grada i obali Atlantika nalazi se najveća gradska tržnica, željeznička i brodska stanica Cais do Sodre, zgrada parlamenta s palačom premijera, Basilica Estrela, muzej Arte Antiga, te četvrt Santos i Alcantra, koja se smjestila ispod trokilometarskog visećeg mosta 25 de Abril preko rijeke Tejo.

Na krajnjem zapadu grada nalazi se povijesna četvrt Belem sa samostanom Jerónimos i crkvom Santa Maria de Belém, Torre de Belem, Belemskom palačom, nekada kraljevskom palačom, a danas rezidencijom portugalskih predsjednika, kapelom São Jerónimo, nedovršenom kraljevskom palačom Ajuda, tvornicom užadi Cordearia Nacional, prvom električnom centralom u Portugalu, danas muzejom, jahačkom školom, spomenikom otkrićima, stadionom Belenense, tropskim vrtom, Centrom Cultural de Belém, Fondacijom Champalimaud, nedugo novosagrađenim muzejom kočija i kosim staklenim tornjem Lučke uprave Lisabona.

Sjeverno su se smjestili Campo Pequeno sa zgradom koride, Campo Grande, veliko područje parka Monsanto, i dio grada poznat pod nazivom Avenidas Novas. Tu se nalazi Sveučilišna četvrt, zoološki vrt, nogometni

N. Reberšak

stadioni Benfice i Sportinga, Nacionalni arhiv Portugala, Fondacija s muzejom Gulbenkian, trgovački centri, a i međunarodna zračna luka Lisabona, Portela.

Na sjevernim obrocima parka Monsanto možete posjetiti Palácio dos Marqueses de Fronteira, dragulj manirističke arhitekture, palaču ukrašenu najljepšim primjercima portugalskih pločica azulejosa.

Nasuprot središta grada, na južnoj obali rijeke Tejo, nalazi se niz prigradskih naselja, kojima dominira 110-metarski spomenik Isusa Krista, izrađen 1959. g. po uzoru na onaj iz Rio de Janeira. Smješten je 113 metara iznad rijeke Tejo, na mjestu gdje most 25 de Abril prelazi rijeku.

Svim povijesnim dijelovima Lisabona, na zapadu od groblja Prazeres, do Graçe na istoku, možete se provesti starim lisabonskim tramvajem broj 28, jednim od simbola grada.

Ako ste manje romantični i želite brže stići s jednog dijela grada na drugi, možete se koristiti podzemnom željeznicom, autobusima i taksijima, koji su u Lisabonu jeftini.

Gastronomija Portugala bogata je i raznolika.

Portugalci su jedni od najvećih potrošača bakalara u svijetu, hvale se da znaju napraviti bakalar na stotinjak načina, od kojih su poznatiji: Bacalhau à Brás, Bacalhau com natas, Pataniscas de bacalhau, Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá, Bacalhau Espiritual, Bacalhau com Broa, Bacalhau à Lagareiro, između ostalih.

Osim bakalara, mnoštvo lisabonskih restorana pruža veliku raznolikost jela od riba, plodova mora, mesa i onih iz egzotičnih kuhinja Azije, Afrike i Južne Amerike.

Kako se Portugalci tradicionalno uglavnom hrane u restoranima, raznolikost ponude vrlo je velika, od onih najskromnijih do onih najluksuznijih, a kvaliteta ponude u prvima ne zaostaje za najskupljim restoranima. Teško je naletjeti na mjesto gdje ćete loše jesti. Najbolje ćete zacijelo blagovati u tradicionalnim malim gostionicama Tascama, u kojima se hrane Lisabonci.

Jelo koje se osobito ističe po neobičnoj kombinaciji sastojaka jest carne de porco à Alentejana, komadići pirjane svinjetine i školjaka amêijoas. U tom jelu sjedinjene su dvije osnovne portugalske kuhinje, ona priobalna i ona kontinentalna.

Juha Caldo Verde tipična je i jede se u cijelom Portugalu.

Portugal je poznat po najrazličitijim vrstama sireva, od kravljega, kozjega ili ovčjeg mlijeka, od kojih se osobito ističe kremasti ovčji sir, Queijo Serra da Estrela, uz Queijo de Azeitão, Queijo de Nisa sve do tvrdih kravljih sireva, poput onog São Jorge s Azora.

Pršuti, kobasice i ostali suhomesnati proizvodi neizostavni su u portugalskoj gastronomiji.

Aguardiente su vinjaci koji se mogu mjeriti s najboljim francuskim konjacima.

Ponuda tipičnih portugalskih slastica temeljena je na arapskoj tradiciji, koju su u srednjem vijeku preuzeli i sačuvali u samostanima širom Portugala. Spravljaju se od brašna, badema, jaja, s mnogo šećera i kandiranog voća.

U okolici Lisabona smještena je Sintra, koja se nalazi na Unescovoj listi kulturne svjetske baštine i prirodne svjetske baštine. Tu klasifikaciju Sintra temelji na predivnoj arhitekturi palača i vila građenih od 15. do 19. st., smještenih u prelijepom brežuljkastom okolišu,

Želite li pojesti nešto na brzinu, a da bude tipično portugalsko, naručite bitoque (goveđi odrezak s prženim jajem, krumpirom i rižom) ili još jednostavniji prego no pão (goveđi odrezak u kruhu) ili empada da galinha (kolačić od prhkog tijesta punjen piletinom), rissol de camarão (pohane kozice u tijestu), pastel de bacalhao (pohani komadići bakalara u tijestu), almofada da atum (jastučić od prhkog tijesta punjen tunjevinom).

Portugal je osobito poznat po izvrsnim vinima, a pogotovo po vinu Porto i desertnom vinu Madeira. Među vinima ističe se vinho verde (zelena ili mlada vina) s nižim postot-

između raskošnih vrtova i parkova bogate suptropske vegetacije.

Uz najstariju palaču Palácio da Vila, možete posjetiti Palácio da Pena, eklektičku kraljevsku palaču sagrađenu u vrijeme romantizma, Palácio de Monserrate, kraljevski ljetnikovac sagrađen u historicističkom indijsko-mogulskom stilu, neomanuelinsku Quintu da Regaleir s kapelom i parkom s jezerima, umjetnim špiljama, bunarima, fontanama i raznolikim paviljonima, Palácio de Seteais, klasicističku kraljevsku palaču, pretvorenu u luksuzni hotel.

Na obroncima vrhova brežuljaka iznad Sintre možete pogledati i ostatke rimskih i maurskih utvrda, kao i samostan Capuchos.

Palacio de Queluz još je jedna od znamenitosti u okolici, ljetna rezidencija portugalskih kraljeva

sagrađena u stilu rocaille po uzoru na Versailles, smještena u predivnim baroknim perivojima i vrtovima, kao i Mafra s monumentalnim samostanom i crkvom, sagrađenim u 18. st. u vrijeme vladavine Joãoa V, kao najveće arhitektonsko djelo portugalskog baroka. U samostanu je smještena jedna od najvećih knjižnica u Europi, s 36.000 knjiga i manuskripata.

U smjeru atlantske obale put vodi do mondenog ljetovališta Estorila i Cascaisa, nekadašnjega ribarskog mjesta, a danas ljetovališta Lisabonaca, s mnogo vila i luksuznih ljetnikovaca.

a nadomak Lisabona nekoliko je atraktivnih lokacija koje svakako treba posjetiti. Umjesto uz pomoć neke turističke agencije s vodičem, odlučili smo se za privatni aranžman koji dopušta raspolaganje vlastitim vremenom i omogućuje detaljniji obilazak.

A

city of diversity and surprises one falls in love with at first sight. Colourful facades adorned with multi-coloured ceramic tiles called azulejos, and black and white wavy sidewalks are details unique to Lisbon.

Despite all the developments of modern times and globalization, time seems to have stopped here.

Phoenicians and Carthaginians ruled the area in their time, while the Romans founded the centre of their province of Lusitania here, and called it Olissippio, where fish were preserved for the entire empire.

In the 12th century, predecessors of modern day Portuguese pushed out the Arabs from this part of the Iberian Peninsula and established their own state, one of the oldest in Europe, with the capital in Lisbon.

The great discoveries of the 16 th century transformed Lisbon, turning it into the centre of the world as it was then known. At every step in this country and this city, visitors come across the history of great explorers: Henry the Navigator, Vasco de Gama, Magalhaes and others. The greatest Portuguese epic poem, Os Lusíadas, by Luís Camões was based on the travels of these great explorers.

The autochthonous Manueline style of architecture developed in that period, as well as Portuguese Gothic architecture, inspired by the decorative elements from overseas and plant features from the new world. The style was named after the Portuguese king, Manuel I, whose rule marked the beginning of the naval expansion of Portugal and the creation of an empire, which spread across almost every continent.

The decline of the Portuguese Empire and Lisbon as its centre culminated in 1755, with a

catastrophic earthquake and tidal wave which devastated the city.

The city centre itself surrounds the largest avenue in Lisbon, Avenida da Liberdade, which stretches from the park of Eduardo VII to Praça dos Restauradores and across Rossio Square (Praça de D. Pedro IV), and further on to Baixa and the large arch, Praça do Comercio and the Tagus River. Marquis Pombal constructed this part of the city, so his monument overlooks the area.

Small, narrow streets, funiculars and a lift constructed by engineers from the Eiffel’s Paris office lead to Chiado, featuring the Convento do Carmo, the ruins of the Gothic cathedral, an array of Baroque churches, theatres, museums and a shopping zone. Further on is Bairro Alto, one of the centres of Lisbon’s nightlife, with an array of restaurants, bars, night clubs and discos called The Best Place for Young People.

On the other side, one will reach Bairro da Alfama, Bairro Graça and Castelo São Jorge.

These are the oldest parts of Lisbon, where there are remains of an ancient theatre, a Mauri fort, a Romanesque cathedral, the Church of St. Anthony - the patron saint of Lisbon, located in the house of his birthplace, the São Vincent da Fora Church and Monastery with the mausoleum of the Bragança Dynasty, and the Santa Engrácia Church, which is, nowadays, the National Pantheon of Portugal.

Numerous interesting viewpoints, including Miradouro Castelo São Jorge, Miradouro da Graça, Miradouro da Penha de França, Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, Miradouro de Santa Catarina, Miradouro de Santa Luzia, Miradouro de Santo Estêvão, Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, Miradouro do Parque CROATIA AIRLINES

Nações, which is a part of the city that was developed in the area where the EXPO ´98 exhibition was held. It is famous for the largest oceanarium in Europe, featuring more than 450 species of marine animals and plants, and the Vasco da Gama Bridge, the second longest bridge in Europe, which crosses the Tagus River and spans 17.2 km in length.

Visitors can take a cable-car ride and enjoy the view of the bridge and its surroundings.

Along the way towards the Parque das Nações, one comes upon one of the oldest convents in Lisbon, founded by Queen Leonor, along with the church of Madre de Deus, which, nowadays, houses the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, a unique museum of ceramic tiles.

On the way towards the western part of the city and the Atlantic coast, you will find the largest market in the city, the Cais do Sodre railway, boat terminals, the parliament building and the Prime Minister’s palace, the Basilica Estrela, the Arte Antiga Museum, and the Santos and Alcantara neighbourhoods, located under the three-kilometre long suspension bridge, 25 de Abril, which crosses the Tagus River.

To the west of the city are the historic Belem neighbourhood with the Jerónimos Monastery and the Santa Maria de Belém Church; Torre

de Belem, Belem Palace - once the royal palace and, nowadays, the residence of the Portuguese president; the São Jerónimo Chapel; the unfinished royal palace Ajuda; the Cordearia Nacional rope factory; the first electric power-plant in Portugal - nowadays a museum; an equestrian school; a monument to the discoveries; the Belenense Stadium; the tropical garden; Centro Cultural de Belém; the Champalimaud Foundation; the recently built horse-drawn carriage museum and the leaning glass tower of the Lisbon port authority.

To the north are the Campo Pequeno bullring, Campo Grande; the large Monsanto Park and part of the city known as Avenidas Novas.

This area consists of the University quarter, the ZOO, the Benfica and Sporting football stadiums, the National Archive of Portugal, the Gulbenkian Foundation and Museum, several shopping centres and Lisbon’s international airport - Portela.

On the northern hillsides of Monsanto Park, one can visit the Palácio dos Marqueses de Fronteira, a jewel of Mannerist architecture a palace decorated with the most beautiful examples of Portuguese azulejos tiles.

Across from the city centre, on the southern bank of the Tagus River, there is an array of

Portuguese gastronomy is rich and diverse.

The Portuguese are among the biggest cod consumers in the world, and they boast that they can prepare it in about a hundred ways, the most famous of which are: Bacalhau à Brás, Bacalhau com natas, Pataniscas de bacalhau, Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá, Bacalhau Espiritual, Bacalhau com Broa, and Bacalhau à Lagareiro.

Apart from cod, many restaurants in Lisbon offer a diversity of food, from fish, sea fruit and meat to exotic cuisines of Asia, Africa and South America.

Since the Portuguese traditionally eat mostly at restaurants, the diversity of the menu is very wide, ranging from very modest to luxurious, but the quality of the former is not inferior even when compared to the most expensive restaurants. Finding a place with bad food is difficult; however, absolutely the best food can be enjoyed at traditional small Tascas, where the locals go for their daily meals.

The dish that particularly stands out for its unusual combination of ingredients is the Carne de porco à Alentejana, consisting of pieces of stewed pork and amêijoa shells. This dish brings together two main types of Portuguese cuisine - the coastal and the continental.

The Caldo Verde is very commonly served throughout Portugal.

Portugal is famous for having the most diverse types of cheese, made from cow, goat or sheep’s milk. Among the most renowned are the creamy sheep cheeses: Queijo Serra da Estrela, Queijo de Azeitão, and Queijo de Nisa, as well as hard cow cheeses, such as the São Jorge from the Azores.

Smoked ham, sausage and other dry meats are indispensable in Portuguese gastronomy.

Portugal is especially known for its excellent wines, especially Porto and Madeira dessert wine. Among the most prominent wines is vinho verde (green or young wines), which have a lower alcohol content due to the fermentation process being stopped early.

Aguardiente are brandies comparable to the finest French cognacs.

Typical Portuguese desserts have a strong Arabic influence stemming from the Middle Ages; the tradition has been preserved in monasteries across Portugal and are made from flour, almonds, eggs and a lot of sugar and sweetened fruit.

Located in the vicinity of Lisbon is Sintra, a UNESCO world cultural and natural heritage site, featuring architecturally-stunning palaces and villas built between the 15th and 19th centuries, located within a beautiful hilly landscape, with lush gardens and parks laden with diverse sub-tropical vegetation.

Apart from the oldest palace, Palácio da Vila, you can visit the Palácio da Pena, an eclectic royal palace built during Romanticism, the Palácio de Monserrate, a royal summer residence built in the Indian Mughal style, the neoManueline Quinta da Regaleir with a chapel and park with lakes, caves, wells, fountains and diverse pavilions, as well as the Palácio de Seteais, a classicist royal palace which was turned into a luxurious hotel.

The hillsides above Sintra feature the remains of Roman and Mauri forts as well as the Capuchos Monastery.

Another landmark in the vicinity is the Palacio de Queluz, the summer residence of Portuguese kings, built in a Rocaille style, inspired

by Versailles, and located in beautiful Baroque gardens, as is Mafra, with a monumental monastery and church built in the 18th century during the reign of João V, which is seen as the greatest architectural work of Portuguese Baroque. The monastery houses one of the largest libraries in Europe, with over 36000 books and manuscripts.

The journey towards the Atlantic coast leads to the popular holiday resorts of Estoril and Cascais, onetime fishing towns and, nowadays, popular summer retreats for the citizens of Lisbon, featuring many villas and luxurious summer residences.

The path along the rocky Atlantic coast and its sandy beaches leads to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the European mainland, with a lighthouse and a monument 140 metres above the sea, 38°46´51˝ north of the Equator, and 9°30´2˝ west of Greenwich, where the land ends and the sea begins, as written by Luís de Camões.

LISBON from the perspective of a journalist on assignment

By Hrvoje Horvat

My stopover in Lisbon, thanks to the excellent connecting flights of Croatia Airlines, was an enjoyable experience during my trip to Radiohead’s concert in Rome.

T

he first place I wanted to find, and, of course, take a picture of, was the long staircase located on one side of the walls of the São Jorge Fort, which overlooks Lisbon and features a view of the city, where famous director, Stanley Kubrick, posed for a photo in 1948. On the opposite hill, there is Bairro Alto, the old part of town where fado music, an original Portuguese tourist product, can be heard playing. The Fado Museum and the largest number of fado restaurants are

108

CROATIA AIRLINES

located in Alfama. It would not be advisable for a music critic to miss visiting a place where live fado music is played, and that boasts an authentic atmosphere with a diverse, traditional gastronomy. Over the last fifteen years, fado musicians have been visiting Croatia more frequently, but seeing them live in their authentic environment is an entirely different experience. Since a football match between Croatia and Portugal was taking place soon, the friendly waiters were clearly interested in learning a few words of Croatian for their future guests-supporters, and they were diligently writing them down on their notepads.

Visiting Lisbon and riding the old-fashioned tram to Belem, with the Torre de Belem Fort located on the Tejo River, is a must.

Later on, one should try the legendary Portuguese sweet specialty, Pasteis de Nata, at the

renowned patisserie shop, Pasteis de Belem, located on the main street. However, instead of waiting in the sun, queuing with other tourists, a good idea is to go inside and take a seat as soon as a table becomes available.

Apart from numerous historic landmarks, Lisbon is also a contemporary city, which has grown over the last twenty years to become a capital city that has plenty to offer those who desire contemporary events. The 1998 Expo, which is still part of the city’s sightseeing routes, was a catalyst of sorts for the transformation of the city.

An architecturally-interesting view is enjoyed around the Parque das Nações, where the fascinating oceanarium is located - the largest one in Europe; it has a fascinating view of all four sides of the world, with detailed displays of animal habitats from all four oceans. Visitors can also get their photos taken with live sharks and other big fish.

Younger tourists have an expansive selection of features to choose from because Lisbon, as a tourist destination, has several tricks up its sleeve - its rich history and attractive present. One of the major features is, of course, the Rock in Rio Festival, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors and includes performances by the biggest names in the world of music. Furthermore, the MUDE Design and Fashion Museum opened in the city centre in 2009, and there are also several other attractions in the vicinity of Lisbon that everyone should visit. Instead of going through tourist agencies and guides, we decided to travel privately, which allows for better time management, and for more sightseeing possibilities.

We left for Sintra by train, and after an entire day of looking at palaces and Moorish ruins on the hill above Sintra, we decided to take a bus back along the Atlantic coast and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost cape of mainland Europe, where at the bottom of a steep cliff, there is a lighthouse, and nothing but the vast ocean and a huge setting sun, and in the far distance - America.

Upon returning to Lisbon, we explored the famous casino in Estoril, which inspired Ian Fleming to write his James Bond novel, Casino Royale. Much more spectacular, however, is the natural attraction, Boca do Inferno, located beside the Cascais Resort, a coastal locality laden with black rocks and a big mouth-like crater created by the ocean’s effect on the coast. Returning to the city in the evening hours offers the inevitable: a break with a glass of Port and dinner with traditional live fado music at one of the numerous Lisbon restaurants because tomorrow, it all starts all over again. 

Poznato je da neka civilizacija ne može misliti o sebi ako nema na umu jednu ili više drugih, koje joj služe za usporedbu. Da bi se spoznala i razumjela vlastita kultura, valja se naučiti gledati sa stajališta druge: donekle poput glumca.

It is acknowledged that a civilization cannot think of itself if it does not consider another or several other civilizations in comparison to it.

aveći se tradicionalnim kostimom seoskog stanovništva, izabrala sam elemente koje sam smatrala nepravedno zaboravljenima ili estetski dragocjenima, da li konstrukcijom ili svojstvima tekstilne tvorevine koja crpi svoju ljepotu i funkcionalnost iz obilježja prirodnog vlakna.

Zatim sam ih dorađivala i transformirala u traganju za suvremenim osviještenim čovjekom. Namjeravala sam poći putovima naših predaka i na kontemplativan i repetitivan te dugotrajan način posvetiti se sveukupnoj izradi svakog odijela. Zapravo, namjeravala sam usporiti se, biti dio samog procesa, a ne samo konzument gotove bezlične otuđene odjeće.

Evo što me zaintrigiralo.

Najzanimljivije obilježje fiksiranog kostima jest tradicija nekrojenog ruha koje su Hrvati prenijeli iz praslavenske postojbine, a zapravo u povijesti odijevanja predstavlja prijelazni oblik između tradicije omatanja (stare civilizacije) i tradicije krojene odjeće.

Prvotno sam, tragajući u prošlosti, izvukla jedan osebujan predmet , tzv. oplećje (oplećek). Ta je košulja također nastala u spomenutoj tradiciji nekrojenog ruha, spajanjem tekstilnih kvadratnih rukotvorina i bogatim nabiranjem oko vratnog izreza. Ti se sitni pravilni nabori polako raspuštaju i nastavljaju svoju nepravilnu igru. Sirovost materijala doradila sam suvremenom tehnikom stone wash u industrijskim uvjetima i tako postigla dojam istrošenosti i autentičnosti.

Tu se pojavljuju i tradicionalne gaće (od jedne ili više pola) s umetkom (turom) između nogavica.

U tradiciji narodnog ruha najdojmljiviji je odjevni predmet plisirana suknja. Jedan od modaliteta jest suknja s poramenica-

ma jadranskog područja (Zlarin, Vodice, Primošten, Mljet, Lastovo). Prednost lanenog vlakna jest to što se ono samo lomi, odnosno neotporno je na gužvanje. Seoski je čovjek prepoznao to kao prednost i iskoristio za formiranje kontroliranih uspravnih nabora.

Gledajući u povijest, plisiranje pravilnim naborima jednoličnog ritma datira još iz starog Egipta, gdje se takvim naborima željelo prkositi prirodi i težiti božanskomu. Bizovačka narodna nošnja, uz onu s otoka Suska, pripada u najzanimljivije i najavangardnije načine seoskog odijevanja. Tako sam, na tragu nje, formirala odijelo koje se odlikuje višeslojnim suknjama od pamučnog platna. Dok bizovačku nošnju resi bogati plavi bušeni vez (bušenina), moje ruho ukrašeno je slojevitim nepravilnim mrljama, nastalim djelovanjem kiseline. One su naknadno bušene i paljene, referirajući se pomalo na vez, u kombinaciji sa suvremenim voštanim platnom (waxed canvas) koje lomljenjem površinskog voska ostavlja tragove i sugerira dotrajalost.

Surka (surina) je gornji haljetak izrađen od sukna. Sukno je vunena tkanina specifične naknadne obrade. Ono bi se u jednostavnim napravama (stupe, valjarice) obrađivalo pod mlazom vode s pomoću drvenih batova dok vuneno vlakno ne bi postalo zbijeno i zgusnuto, a tkanina čvrsta i nepromočiva.

Osim odijevanja koje sam proučavala, bitan dio svakodnevice seoskog života bilo je košaraštvo (tehnika pletenja košara). Njegovu primjenu nalazimo u raznim područjima života, za gradnju ograda, gornjeg dijela kola, ribolovne vrše, posude za sijeno, perje, voće, sjeme itd. Najbolje svojstvo košaraštva jest to što stvara trodimenzionalnu formu bez ikakvih spojeva, za razliku od odjeće koja nastaje kao produkt dvodimenzionalnih tvorevina. 

orking with the traditional costumes of village folk, I chose elements I considered unjustly forgotten, or aesthetically-valuable, whether by their construction or by the properties of the created textile, which draws all of its beauty and functionality from the characteristics of natural fibre. I, then, did further work on them and transformed them in pursuit of the contemporary, conscious man. My intention was to embark on the paths of our ancestors, and dedicate myself contemplatively and persistently to the overall creation of each suit over the long-term. I actually intended to slow myself down, be part of the process itself, and not just a consumer of finished and impersonal clothes.

I would like to describe something that intrigued me.

The most interesting characteristic of a fixed costume is the tradition of untailored attire, which the Croats have taken from protoSlavic culture, while in the history of clothing, it represents a transitional form between the tradition of wearing cloaks (old civilization), and the tradition of tailored clothes.

Researching history, I first found one distinct item, the so-called oplećje (oplećek). This

vest was also created in the aforementioned tradition of untailored attire, by combining square textile handicrafts and opulent shirring around the collar. These tiny, even frills slowly release and continue their uneven game. I added to the rawness of material by applying a contemporary stone wash technique under industrial conditions, and achieved an impression of wear and authenticity.

This includes traditional underwear (with one or more halves) with an insert between the trouser legs.

The most prominent traditional garment is a pleated skirt. One of the modalities is a skirt with shoulder straps typical of the Adriatic region (Zlarin, Vodice, Primošten, Mljet, Lastovo). The advantage of flax fibre is that it breaks by itself, which means it is not resistant to wrinkling. The village folk have recognized this as an advantage and used it in forming controlled vertical pleats.

Looking at history, pleating with even creases and an even rhythm dates back to ancient Egypt, where such pleats defied nature and tended towards the divine.

The traditional clothing of Bizovac, and that from the Island of Susak, is among the most interesting and avant-garde ways of dressing Surka (jakna), kuhana vuna, sashiko / ručno plisirana suknja od lana / 2015. surka (jacket), boiled wool, sashiko / hand pleated linen skirt / 2015

in the countryside. Inspired by this, I created a suit from multi-layered skirts out of cotton canvas. While the traditional clothing of Bizovac is characterized by gorgeous blue punctured lace (bušenina), my garment is adorned with layered uneven blotches created with acid. They were subsequently punctured and burned, like the lace, and combined with waxed canvas, which leaves traces and looks worn once the surface wax is broken.

Surka (surina) is a blouse made out of broadcloth. Broadcloth is a wool fabric with a specific finish. In simple machines, it would be treated with wooden hammers under a stream of water until the wool fibre becomes dense and the fabric firm and watertight.

Apart from the clothing I studied, an important part of everyday life in the country is basketry - the technique of weaving baskets. This technique can be applied to various aspects of life: to fence building, to the construction of the upper parts of carriages, fishing coops, containers for hay, feathers, fruit and seeds…

The best aspect of basketry is that it creates a three dimensional form without any joints, unlike clothes that are made as a product of two dimensional creations. 

neke nisu, s otužnim pročeljima… no, kad se oni prime boje i kista, inspirirani eksterijerom, stvar se okrene nabolje. Urbana sredina dobiva živost, veselje, pozitivu i poruku. Za koga? Za sve koji prolaze, njihova je umjetnost univerzalna i namijenjena svima koji zastanu. Imali su naši ulični umjetnici i brojne izložbe, suradnje s galerijama, na multimedijalnim projektima, crtali po stranim gradovima... No, idemo redom.

rolere, a u posljednje vrijeme i sprejeve. Osim kod nas, radila sam i u Francuskoj, Španjolskoj, Americi… Ove se godine opet spremam u Francusku, gdje imam nekoliko izložbi, zatim su tu projekti za Englesku i jedan kod nas, ponovno sa zagrebačkim Muzejom suvremene umjetnosti. Ponosna sam na to što je galerija u New Yorku počela prodavati moje printeve, pa sve skupa ide u tom smjeru… Međunarodnom.

Oko ∑ Mislim da sam postala prepoznatljiva po svojim crno-bijelim životinjskim likovima. Inspiriram se knjigama, knjigama i knjigama… a onda i dokumentarcima i ponekim filmom - kaže poznata umjetnica. - Poruka je mojih radova namijenjena svima, ali imam osjećaj da tražim komunikaciju s onima koji su dovoljno otvorenog uma da se zapitaju neka klasična pitanja o smislu života i postojanja. Kad počinjem raditi, obično najprije proučim povijest mjesta, grada, četvrti u kojoj crtam, kao i lokalne običaje. Priznajem da ima tu i neka jaka volja, moraš biti uporan kad te stalno uništavaju i prebojavaju, iz dana u dan… i tako stalno iznova. No, reakcija je ljudi zato predivna, uglavnom nailazim na odobravanje. Kad mi priđu, ponekad se sramim i zapravo ne znam što bih rekla… ali zapravo treba biti otvoren prema ljudima i onda je sve ok. U radu rabim boje za zid, kistove i

Lunar On je prava street-art zvijezda, i to već dulje vrijeme. Priznati je dugogodišnji umjetnik koji redovito ima izložbe i suradnje na velikim projektima. ∑ Radu na otvorenome pristupam slično kao i radu na papiru, osim što mu posvetim malo više vremena oko bojenja, a i tehnika je drugačija. Gruba skica na papiru jest osnova, a na zidu često improviziram, igram se oblicima i bojama. Inspiracija su moja vlastita iskustva koja propuštam kroz vlastiti filtar i onda ispucavam u radove. To može biti sve: slučajan susret na ulici, ljubav, pročitana knjiga… opcije su raznolike. Što se tiče poruka, neki moji radovi je imaju, neki ne… oni su kao čista igra na površini, a ponekad i slovni stil ili pak zabavljanje zatečenim oblicima na površini. Kad komuniciram poruke, nastojim isticati one primjenjive među svim ljudima. Rjeđe se referiram na određene

The greyness of any capital is broken up by big, powerful, truly magnificent pieces of art in the streets by renowned street artists. Their stage is the city, and the audience every single passer-by. događaje, ljude ili područja. Poruke su, osim toga, namijenjene svakome tko ih želi pročitati i uvidjeti. Kad nešto komuniciram prema van, želim da to ima smisla i iza svojih riječi stojim.

Kad kritiziram, volim da je kritika konstruktivna.

Početak je ovakav: ako nisam upućen u materiju, najprije je proučim i skicom izbacim svoj slikovni komentar, odnosno tumačenje. Želja mi je napraviti što bolje radove koji me vesele i nastojati pridonijeti boljoj komunikaciji među kreativnim ljudima koji miču granice u dobrom smjeru, iz kojega god područja dolazili. I jako volim kad slučajni prolaznici komentiraju - da sam dobio kunu svaki put kad sam čuo meni se sviđa kad vi crtate, ali mi se ne sviđa ono kad šaraju, već bih sagradio neboder. ∑ Lunar često koristi sprej i akrilnu boju, koju nanosi četkom, valjkom ili kistom. No, veli, ne libi se ni proliti vino ili kavu po papiru i time crtati. Omiljeni motiv su mu životinje. - Uglavnom crtam tapire, jazavce, medvjede, vukove, jelene… ali me ljudi najviše pamte po mačkama. Smatram li se umjetnikom? Pa, ne razmišljam o tome, ostavljam drugima na prosude. Kad ljudi iz medija inzistiraju na etiketama, onda da, tako se predstavljam. No, bavim se i dizajnom, ilustracijom, grafitima, fotografijom, slikarstvom… pa je to lakše strpati pod zajednički nazivnik - umjetnik, ako baš moram. Često putujem, upravo sam se vratio s veseloga gostovanja u

Bogoti i radim selekciju fotografija. Otvorio sam u travnju izložbu u Zagrebu, Lines & Fills u studiju Boonika, nakon toga gostovao u Laubi, a zatim je uslijedio street-art festival u Münchenu i gostovanje na izložbi u Amsterdamu…

Lonac Još jedna street-art zvijezda otkriva da obožava oslikavati pročelja nadrealnim, realističnim ili simboličkim prizorima te intervenirati po zapuštenim prostorima. ∑ Nadahnjuju me pritom svakodnevne stvari, događaji, glazba, ljudi kojima sam okružen te radovi drugih umjetnika - kaže Lonac. A poruka? ∑ Pa ne mora baš svaki rad koji je na ulici imati poruku. Možda su ljudi naviknuli na to, ako je nešto na ulici, sigurno mora imati neko značenje… ako ima, onda je to uglavnom - konzumiraj. Neki radovi su dovoljni po sebi, promatrač, naravno, ima slobodu interpretacije. Ali ako uz rad nešto napišem, to je zato što tekstom dajem puni smisao likovnom radu, no to ne znači da ga svi moraju shvatiti, niti da je namijenjen određenoj publici. Sâm zid, zatim sve ono što se nalazi na njemu, kao i njegovo okružje, glavna su inspiracija za intervenciju. Pokušavam smisliti nešto što se logično nadovezuje na zid ili radom nastojim još više naglasiti zid. Primjeri su radovi Heartbeats, Medika diving, Ambush, Nest… Za

You Need to Nurture Old Friendships 2015 (Medika) Oko

murale najviše rabim sprejeve, a ponekad i fasadnu boju. Sprejevi se mnogo brže osuše pa je neke detalje lakše raditi u toj tehnici. Što se tiče mojih popularnih likova, neki bi rekli da su to ribe. Ipak, svaki rad funkcionira za sebe, često skačem s motiva na motiv. Možda je to moj likovni izričaj, stil, ako se to tako može nazvati, ono po čemu ljudi prepoznaju moj rad.

Općenito se smatram kreativcem koji svoju energiju troši najviše na slikanje, bilo da je riječ o golemim pročeljima ili platnu u studiju. Moj rad uključuje i putovanja - oslikao sam i zid nadvožnjaka u talijanskom Cassinu, u sklopu festivala Memorie Urbane, a potkraj godine idem na Floridu slikati na festival Canvas.

mi pristup najviše odgovara i donosi najbolje rezultate. Zbog toga je i proces crtanja mnogo zanimljiviji i dinamičniji, a i finalni je rezultat uvijek nešto novo i neplanirano. Kad radim, obično prolaznici nešto komentiraju - uglavnom su to pozitivne reakcije, većina ljudi cijeni naš rad, iako mislim da ne razumiju što točno radimo…

No, jasno im je da se u sve skupa ulaže mnogo energije i truda i da je potrebna velika kreativnost te da to ne može napraviti baš svatko. Imam osjećaj da nas cijene. Moj glavni alat uvijek je

sprej, a ponekad se poslužim i fasadnim bojama. U posljednje vrijeme moji radovi poprimaju nekakav organski izgled, prilično su tu isprepleteni i zamršeni motivi, a onda opet uredno posloženi i u pokretu. Nekad mi se čini da jesam umjetnik, a onda opet drugi put da nisam…

Ponosan sam na projekte, čeka me nekoliko velikih u Zagrebu, pa mnogo gostovanja po državi, a onda i u nekoliko europskih gradova.

Imam i poprilično posla u atelijeru, gdje pripremam radove za sljedeću izložbu.

PMP / Lapo Lapo Zagreb je prije nekoliko godina dobio novi urbani detalj - stare vodene pumpe, ili Franceki, postavljeni posvuda po kvartovima, dobili su novi izgled. Autori iz kolektiva Pimp my Pump osmislili su dobru foru i preko noći postali prepoznatljivi autori naše street-art scene.

Franceki bi, naime, uvijek bili neki komični likovi ili filmske face koje se na inovativan način uklapaju u sivi eksterijer. Danas oni potpisuju brojne druge urbane radove: kolektiv PMP i

street-art studio Lapo Lapo vode Boris Bare i Miro Modul Petković. O svom radu govore da svaki put žele - iznenaditi. ∑ Uzimajući u obzir široki opus motiv i stilova, svaki put želimo napraviti nešto novo, koristeći se tako realnim stilovima, od geometrije, apstrakcije, realizma pa do kaligrafije. Nadahnjuje nas sve što vidimo i radimo, čujemo i osjetimo. Često su nam i putovanja glavni izvor inspiracije. Svojim radom želimo širiti pozitivne misli te vraćati stare stvari u život, dati im dušu te tako razveseliti sebe i ljude oko nas. Radovi su namijenjeni svima. Želimo pokazati da se iz svega može stvoriti nešto novo, posebno i pozitivno. Radove osmišljavamo ovisno o objektu, izgledu, materijalu i prostoru. A boje… ovisi kako se osjećamo taj dan! Usto, nemoguće je izbjeći radoznale poglede - reakcije su uglavnom pozitivne, što nam daje želju i vjetar u leđa da činimo što bolje, veće i ljepše stvari. Uglavnom nas ljudi poznaju po kombinaciji stripova, filmova i glazbe s kojima smo se sretali tijekom života.

Pri radu rabimo sprejeve, akrilne boje, kistove, boje za metal, boje za zid, ali opet sve ovisi o površini koju radimo. - Bare i Petković rade na mnogim drugim urbanim projektima: u sklopu studija Lapo Lapo nalazi se muzej gdje su izloženi radovi afirmiranih regionalnih street -art umjetnika. ∑ Ostali projekti na kojima radimo

jesu: revitalizacija napuštenog parka u središtu grada Street Art park, u sklopu kojega ćemo održavati radionice, projekcije i izložbe, koji će trajati od lipnja do rujna. Također ćemo pokrenuti street-art ture u Zagrebu, ponovno oslikati kultnu Branimirovu ulicu, te sudjelovati na raznim festivalima diljem regije i šire i još mnogo toga.

Našoj se metropoli, čini se, smiješi šarena budućnost. 

hey are street painters and have their street names, such as Oko (The Eye), Lunar, the only lady among them, Lonac (Pot), the Pimp my Pump Collective and Chez 186. Whilst walking through Zagreb, passing open areas or some out-of-the-way spots, one will often stop to observe a large drawing, sign or motif. Some are even hidden in underground garages. Zagreb has many old buildings; some are kept up, others are not and feature decaying facades… But when artists grab their paint and brushes and become inspired by the exterior, things take a turn for the better. An urban environment becomes lively, fun and positive, and it also offers a message. For whom? For everyone that passes by; their art is universal and aimed at anyone who stops to look at it. Our street artists have held numerous exhibitions, worked with gal-

When they approach me, I am sometimes shy and don’t know what to say, but I try to stay open towards people, and everything usually turns out ok. I use wall paint, brushes and rollers, but lately I’ve also been using spray cans. Apart from Croatia, I have also worked in France, Spain, and America… This year, I am planning a trip to France, where I have several exhibitions lined up, as well as projects in England and one in Croatia - once again at Zagreb’s Museum of Contemporary Art. I am proud that a gallery in New York has started selling my prints, so everything has been going in an international direction for me lately.

Oko - I think I became recognizable for my black and white animal characters. I get inspired by books, books and books, as well as documentaries and an occasional movie, says the renowned artist. - The message contained within my work is aimed at everyone, but I have a feeling I seek communication with those who are open-minded enough to ask themselves some classic questions about the meaning of life. When I start to work, I first study the history of a particular place, city or neighbourhood in which I am about to paint, as well as the local customs. I admit it takes a strong will;

- I approach work in the open like I do working on paper, except I dedicate a little more time to the painting itself, and the technique is different. A rough sketch on paper is the base, and I often improvise on the wall; I play with shapes and colours. I get inspiration from my own experience, which I roll through my own filters and then turn into my work. This can be anything: a chance encounter on the street, love, a good book… The options are diverse. As far as messages go, some of my work has it, some does not… I like playing around on a surface, and sometimes, trying

I rarely reference particular events, people or areas. Apart from that, the messages are meant for anyone who wants to read and interpret them. When I communicate something on the outside, I want it to make sense, and I stand behind my words. When I give criticism, I like it to be constructive. The beginning goes like this: if I am not familiar with the subject matter, I first study it and make a sketch of my comment so that I have a better understanding of it.

My wish is to do the best work I can, which makes me happy, and helps me contribute to better communication between creative people who push boundaries in the right direction, no matter what field they are from.

I also love it when passers-by comment. If I had a kuna for every time I heard the phrase: I like what you draw, but do not like graffiti, I would have built a skyscraper by now. Lunar often uses spray and acrylic paint, which he applies with a brush, roller or paintbrush.

However, he does not refrain from spilling wine or coffee on a piece of paper and drawing with that either. His favourite motifs are animals.

- I mostly draw tapirs, badgers, bears, wolves, and deer… But people mostly remember me for my cats. Do I consider myself an artist? Well, I don’t think about it. I let others judge for themselves. When media people insist on labels, then yes, I present myself as that. However, I also dabble in design, illustrations, graffiti, photography, painting… Therefore, it is easier to put it all under one name - artist, if I must. I often travel, I have just come back from Bogota and I am just selecting photos from it. In April, I had an exhibition opening - Lines & Fills at the Boonika Studio in Zagreb; I made a guest appearance in Lauba, then attended a street134

art festival in Munich and made another guest appearance at an exhibition in Amsterdam…

Lonac Another street-art star who reveals that he loves to paint facades with surreal, realistic or symbolic images, as well as intervene in run down spaces.

- I am inspired by everyday things, events, music, people that I am surrounded by and works by other artists, says Lonac. And the message? - Not every piece on the street has to have a message. Maybe people are used to it; if something is on the street, it must have some sort of meaning… If it does, it is mostly - consume! Some pieces are enough just for themselves, but the viewer always has the freedom of interpretation, of course. However, if I do write something next to my piece, it is because text gives a fuller meaning to the work of art, but that does not mean that everyone has to get it, nor that it is aimed at a particular audience. The wall itself, as well as everything on it, including the surrounding area, is my main inspiration for an intervention. I try to come up with something that logically blends into the wall or I try to make it stand out even more with my piece. Good examples are the pieces: Heartbeats, Medika Diving, Ambush, and Nest… For murals, I mostly use sprays, and sometimes façade paint as well. Sprays dry much quicker so some details are easier to do using that technique. As far as my popular characters go, some say it’s fish. Still, each piece functions in its own right, so I often jump from motif to motif. Maybe that is my artistic expression or style, if you want to call it that, which makes my work recognizable to people. I generally consider myself a creative person who invests energy mostly into painting, whether it’s a huge mural or a piece of canvas in a studio. My work also includes travel: I have painted the wall of

Chez 186 People recognize him for his wide pallet of paint colours , as well as for the pretty unusual combination of styles, letters and abstract shapes, which he always attempts to place within the format of the wall.

- I don’t think I try to send any sort of message with my work, it is simply a part of me that I leave on the street and expect nothing in return, says Chez 186. However, if someone reads into my work and gets a message out of it, good for them. I come up with ideas for my work spontaneously, on the spot; such an approach suits me best and yields the best results. This is why the process of drawing is much more interesting and dynamic for me, and the final result is always something new and unplanned. While I work, passers-by usually make some kind of a comment; they are mostly positive reactions; most people value our work, although I think they do not understand exactly what we are doing… However, they do realize a lot of energy and effort has been invested into the whole thing, and that it takes a great deal of creativity, so not everyone can do it. I have a feeling they appreciate us. My main tool has always been a spray can, while I occasionally use façade paints. Lately, my work has been gaining a sort of organic look; the motifs are intertwined and complex, and in perfect order and motion. It sometimes seems to me like I am an artist, but, then again, sometimes it does not… I am proud of my projects; I have several coming up in Zagreb, as well as numerous guest appearances all over Croatia and in several European cities. I also have quite a lot of work in my atelier, where I am preparing works for my next exhibition.

Stripy Pimp my Pump, 2016 (Trnje)

Zet-ov tramvaj - Muzej Ferdinand Budicki kolaboracija Chez186 & Modul

PMP / Lapo Lapo A few years ago, Zagreb got a new urban detail - old water pumps, called Francek, located across Zagreb’s neighbourhoods, got a new look. Authors from the Pimp my Pump Collective came up with a great trick and became recognizable authors on our street-art scene overnight. The pumps are always comical characters or film stars that innovatively fit into a grey exterior. Nowadays, their signature is also on many other urban pieces. The PMP Collective and the Lapo Lapo Street Art Studio are headed by Boris Bare and Miro Modul Petković. In terms of work, they say their goal is always to surprise.

- Taking into consideration a wide opus of motifs and styles, each time we try to do something new by using real styles from geometry, abstraction and realism to calligraphy. We are inspired by everything that we see, hear and feel. Oftentimes, travel is the main source of our inspiration. When it comes to our work, we want to spread positive thoughts and bring old stuff back to life, give them a soul and bring joy to ourselves and the people around us. The works are aimed at everyone. We want to show that something new, special and positive can be created out of anything. We come up with our works depending on the structure: its look, material and space. And the colours… It depends on how we feel that day! Apart from that, it is impossible to avoid the curious glances of onlookers; the reactions are mostly positive, which pushes us to do bigger, better, and more beautiful things. People recognize us mostly for our combination of comics, film and music - everything we have come across in our lives. In our work, we use spray paint, acrylic paint, brushes, metal paint and wall paint, but it all depends on the surface we are working on. Bare and Petković are working on numerous other urban projects: within the Lapo Lapo Studio, there is a museum featuring works by acknowledged regional street artists. - Other projects we are working on are: the revitalization of the abandoned park in the city centre, called Street Art Park, where, we will be organizing workshops, screenings and exhibitions between June and September. We will also be initiating street-art tours in Zagreb, and, once again, painting the renowned Branimirova Street mural; we are set to partake in various festivals across the region and beyond, as well as participate in many other activities. Our capital seems to be looking at a bright and colourful future.  CROATIA AIRLINES

Posjetite Kliniku Svjetlost i promijenite pogled na svijet Visit the Svjetlost Eye Clinic and change your view of the world Hrvatska je zemlja prirodnih ljepota, budite sigurni da ništa ne propuštate Croatia is a land of natural beauties; be sure you don’t miss anything

Prof. dr. sc. Nikica Gabrić, osnivač i ravnatelj Klinike Svjetlost / Prof. Nikica Gabric, PhD, Founder and Director of Svjetlost Eye Clinic

H

rvatska je zemlja prirodnih ljepota, bogate kulture i tradicije, a u to ste se zacijelo i sami uvjerili ako ovdje živite ili ste barem jedanput ovdje boravili, bilo poslovno, bilo turistički.

Iako je Hrvatska sve popularnije turističko odredište, pa se zato o njoj zna sve više, veoma je mnogo zanimljivosti koje su vam eventualno i promaknule. Primjerice, jeste li znali da Hrvatska ima 1246 otoka i oko 2715 sunčanih sati godišnje? Hrvatska ima i najljepši zalazak sunca, točnije Zadar, može li se vjerovati riječima redatelja Alfreda Hitchcocka. Ili, jeste li znali da se na gotovo 10 posto hrvatskog teritorija proteže 11 parkova prirode, osam nacionalnih parkova i dva prirodna rezervata?

Jeste li sigurni da vaše oči ništa ne propuštaju?

Sve navedeno itekako vrijedi vidjeti i doživjeti, baš svaki detalj. A kad smo već kod toga, jeste li sigurni da vaše oči ništa ne propuštaju? Suvremeni tempo života i izlaganje očiju različitim podražajima koji nemaju blagonaklon utjecaj na vid, kao što je to primjerice dugotrajno gledanje u ekran računala, rezultirali su time da gotovo svaki drugi stanovnik razvijenih zemalja ima određene probleme s vidom.

Imate li problema s dioptrijom oka, najpouzdanije i najpraktičnije rješenje jest lasersko skidanje dioptrije. Nosite li naočale ili leće, onda znate kako ta pomagala osobitu smetnju predstavljaju tijekom ljetnih mjeseci, na ljetovanju, jer na plaži i u moru uvijek su višak bez kojega biste rado htjeli živjeti.

Premda odluku o laserskom skidanju dioptrije neki uporno odgađaju, taj je zahvat jednostavniji nego Dr. Maja Bohač, voditeljica Odsjeka za refraktivnu kirurgiju / Dr. Maja Bohac, Head of the Department of Refractive Surgery

U Klinici Svjetlost možete se brzo i bezbolno riješiti i sive mrene, očnog oboljenja koje se počinje pojavljivati već u srednjoj životnoj dobi. Klinika Svjetlost poznata je i po kompleksnim zahvatima transplantacije rožnice i vitrektomije (operacija očne pozadine), operacijama glaukoma, operacijama strabizma, plastičnim operacijama vjeđa i drugim zahvatima na oku. Ta ustanova također je među vodećim europskim klinikama po iskustvu ugradnje suvremenih Symfony intraokularnih leća s proširenim rasponom vida, kojima je moguće riješiti se i mrene i dioptrije istodobno.

Oftalmološki Oscar kao potvrda stručnosti i kvalitete Potvrda velike stručnosti i kvalitete Klinike Svjetlost stigla je s najvećega i najprestižnijega svjetskoga videokiruškog kongresa Videocatarattarefrattiva Milano 2015.

Nikicom Gabrićem obavili su pet kompliciranih operativnih zahvata u samo 60 minuta i osvojili oftalmološkog Oscara u jakoj i respektabilnoj konkurenciji.

roatia is a land of natural beauties, rich culture and heritage, which, by now, you must know if you live here or have visited at least once either for business reasons or travel. Even though Croatia is becoming more and more of a popular tourist destination, and the word is getting out, there are probably still many interesting facts you may not know about it. For instance, did you know Croatia has 1246 islands and around 2715 sunshine hours a year? Croatia also has the most beautiful sunsets, more specifically in Zadar, if Director Alfred Hitchcock is to be believed. And did you know that almost ten percent of the Croatian territory stretches over eleven Nature parks, eight National parks and two Nature reserves?

Be sure your eyes don’t miss a thing!

All of this is well worth seeing and experiencing - each and every detail. And while we’re at it, are you sure your eyes aren’t missing anything? The modern tempo of life and exposing your eyes to different stimuli, like long periods of staring at a computer screen, can have a detrimental effect on your eyesight, which is why almost every second citizen living in an advanced society has some vision difficulties.

If you are experiencing difficulties with eye diopter, the most reliable and practical solution is laser vision correction. If you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses, then you know how annoying these can be during the summer months or when on vacation. On the beach and in the sea, they are more of a nuisance than anything else when all you want to do is be free of all restrictions.

Even though some people delay getting laser vision correction, this procedure is far simpler than first thought. Besides that, 95% of adults are perfect candidates if their eye diopter is in the range of -10.0 to +6 and to ±6 cylinders of astigmatism. There is no reason for any fear, since laser vision correction is a completely painless and safe procedure, and lasts only about ten minutes.

Solve your eyesight problems at Klinika Svjetlost, the biggest ophthalmologic clinic in this part of Europe If you have any problems with your eyesight, and would like to fix it quickly and safely, you should know the solution is close at hand - at the Svjetlost Eye Clinic. Svjetlost is the biggest and most modern ophthalmologist clinic in this part of Europe, providing complete ophthalmologic services for the past 18 years, from basic eye evaluations to complex surgical procedures. It has centers in Zagreb and Split, but also in Sarajevo and Banja Luka. The Svjetlost Eye Clinic has treated over 300,000 patients so far, with the biggest guarantors of exceptional quality being the 40 first-rate ophthalmologists working on the most modern technology available. With

over 100,000 surgical procedures under their belt, these top experts approach each patient with individual care and find the best possible solutions for all eye problems.

Besides laser vison correction, at the Svjetlost Eye Clinic, you can painlessly take care of cataracts, an eye disease that often develops during middle age. Klinika Svjetlost is renowned for many complex procedures, such as corneal transplants and vitrectomies, glaucoma operations, strabismus operations, plastic operations of eyelashes and other eye procedures.

Svjetlost is also among the leading European clinics experienced in implementing modern Symfony intraocular lenses with wide aperture range, which provides solutions for cataracts and diopter at the same time.

Ophthalmological Oscar as the acknowledgement of expertise and quality The Svjetlost Eye Clinic was acknowledged for its exceptional expertise and quality by the biggest and most prestigious world eye surgery congress Videocatarattarefrattiv Milano 2015. The Svjetlost experts, headed by Prof.

Nikica Gabrić, PhD performed five complicated operations in only 60 minutes and took home the ‘Ophthalmological Oscar’ in a strong and respectable competition.

Therefore, if you reside in Croatia, or are just arriving for a visit and have eyesight issues, remember that the Svjetlost Eye Clinic is the best choice for your eyesight. For more information, visit www.svjetlost.hr or contact one of our local centers in Croatia.

Regardless of whether you are a tourist that nurtures his or her love for exquisite music or not, the number of attractions and quality of musical performances during the three festival weekends in Rovinj enables visitors to enjoy performances by some of the greatest names on the contemporary jazz scene.

Famous American saxophonist Joshua Redman and his quartet opened the festival on the 15th of June

O

vogodišnji šesti Rovinj Jazz Festival održava se tri vikenda u srpnju, a ponudom vrhunske glazbe poželjan je spoj kulture i turizma u jeku turističke sezone. Kao svojevrstan nasljednik zagrebačkih festivala Jazzarella i Zagreb Jazz Festival osnivača Dražena Kokanovića, i Rovinj Jazz Festival pod pokroviteljstvom hotelskog poduzeća Maistra navikao je publiku na velike poslastice i spektakularne nastupe, s četrdesetak glazbenika, koliko ih je gostovalo u Rovinju na pet dosadašnjih izdanja festivala.

Otvaranje festivala 15. srpnja pripada slavnome američkom saksofonistu Joshuu Redmanu, jednome od najcjenjenijih jazzista srednjeg naraštaja. Tijekom karijere svirao je

Dobitnik Grammyja Nicholas Payton Grammy winner Nicholas Payton

s vodećim glazbenicima jazza i mnogih drugih žanrova, Daveom Brubeckom, Chickom Coreaom, Herbiejem Hancockom, B.B. Kingom, Steviejem Wonderom, Quincyjem Jonesom i Rolling Stonesima. Uz dugogodišnji stalni sastav na njegovim albumima sviraju i slavni jazzisti poput Pata Methenyja, Charlieja Hadena i drugih. Redman je nekoliko godina u SAD-u obavljao posao umjetničkog ravnatelja SFJAZZ Spring Seasona, te umjetničkog ravnatelja SFJAZZ Collectivea. Osim što je autor glazbe za brojne filmove, Redman je i jedan od sudionika filma Kansas City slavnog Roberta Altmana, poznatoga po glazbi koju izvode vodeći jazzisti.

Pjevačica i skladateljica Lizz Wright na Rovinj

Jazz Festivalu nastupa u subotu 16. srpnja.

Strastvenu pjevačicu veoma cijene kolege, te su je na suradnje pozivali mnogi poznati glazbenici poput Tootsa Thielemansa, Regine Carter, Davida Sanborna i Amosa Leeja. Njezin vokalni stil uspoređivali su s onime Norah Jones, a na snimanjima pet dosadašnjih albuma Lizz Wright sudjelovali su slavni glazbenici poput gitarista Billa Frisella, pjevača Gregoryja Portera i Angelique Kidjo i drugih. Lizz Wright izvodi vlastite pjesme, ali i tradicionale, te skladbe Sergeja Rahmanjinova, Chicka Coreje, Jimija Hendrixa, Erica Claptona i drugih.

Drugi rovinjski vikend jazza 15. srpnja otvaraju Stefan Milenković i Marko Hatlak s devedesetminutnim glazbeno-scenskim programom Tango Compas i repertoarom skladbi A. Piazzolle, R. Galliana i G.M Rodriguesa. Svjetski priznati violinist Milenković, koji je slavu stekao još kao dijete, i Marko Hatlak, slovenski koncertni harmonikaš, združili su snage u sastavu Stefan Milenkovich & Marko Hatlak Tango Compas s pijanistom Markom Črnčecom, kontrabasistom Lukom Hermanom Gaiserom, a na pozornici im se pridružuje pjevačica Ana Bezjak. Tango Compas istražuje žanr tanga, a na turneji predstavljaju prvi CD koji uključuje pjesme iz najranijeg doba tango-repertoara autora kao što su Rodrigues, Canaro, Caceres i drugi, kao i suvremeno viđenje tanga preko unikatne interpretacije Piazzolline i Gallianove glazbe.

Dobitnik Grammyja Nicholas Payton i Jane Monheit na Rovinj Jazz Festivalu nastupaju 16. srpnja. Payton je jedan od najboljih trubača današnjeg jazza, na kojega je trag ostavila i glazba Stevieja Wondera ili sastava poput Earth, Wind & Fire. Jedan od učitelja bio mu je i Wynton Marsalis, s kojim je svirao u početku karijere, a poslije je surađivao sa slavnim jazzistima poput Arta Blakeya, Clarka Terryja, Herbieja Hancocka i drugih. Svirao je i s glazbenicima drugih žanrova kao što su Ray Charles, Allen Toussaint i Dr. John. U svoju glazbu uključuje elemente raznih žanrova, ali i tradiciju jazza New Orleansa, pa ne čudi što je upravo Payton snimio album posvećen Louisu Armstrongu. Često uspoređivana s Ellom Fitzgerald i Dianom Krall, Jane Monheit jedna je od najcjenjenijih jazz-pjevačica mlađeg naraštaja. U dobi

Amira Medunjanin osvojila je publiku u mnogim domaćim i inozemnim koncertnim dvoranama Amira Medunjanin has captivated audiences in many concert halls throughout Croatia and abroad

od sedamnaest godina pošla je u glazbenu školu na Manhattanu i počela nastupati na njujorškoj klupskoj sceni. Ostvarila je suradnje sa zvijezdama jazza i brazilske glazbe Johnom Pizzarellijem, Terenceom Blanchardom, Michaelom Bubleom i nastupala s mnogim simfonijskim orkestrima, a do sada je snimila glazbu za nekoliko filmova i objavila devet samostalnih albuma. Šesti Rovinj Jazz Festival u subotu, 20. srpnja, završava nastupom Amire Medunjanin, sjajne sarajevske pjevačice, koja je interpretacijama sevdaha i sevdalinki unatrag nekoliko godina opisivana kao bosanske Billie Holiday i osvojila publiku koja ju je vidjela i čula u mnogim domaćim i inozemnim koncertnim dvoranama. Primjerice, osim rasprodanih dvorana Zagrebačkog kazališta mladih i Vatroslava Lisinskoga, Amira Medunjanin već je imala prilike predstaviti se publici rovinjskog festivala dvaput, a frenetične reakcije publike i osobiti nastupi razlogom su što ondje nastupa i ove godine. 

T

his year’s sixth edition of the Rovinj Jazz Festival, with a repertoire of fantastic music, is taking place over three weekends in July, which is set to be a desirable combination of culture and tourism in the middle of the tourist season. As a successor of sorts of Jazzarella and the Zagreb Jazz Festival, established by Dražen Kokanović, the Rovinj Jazz Festival, sponsored by the Maistra Hotel Company, has got audiences 150

CROATIA AIRLINES

accustomed to some serious treats and spectacular performances, featuring some forty musicians, which is how many musicians performed in the previous five editions of the festival.

The opening of the festival, on July 15th, will feature a performance by famous American saxophonist Joshua Redman, one of the most highly-regarded jazz musicians of the middle generation. Throughout his career, he has performed with leading musicians of jazz as well as with musicians of many other styles, including Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, B.B. King, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and the Rolling Stones. Apart from his long-standing band, his albums feature performances by famous jazz players such as Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden and others. For several years in the USA, Redman was the art director of the SFJAZZ Spring and the SFJAZZ Collective. Apart from composing numerous film scores, Redman also worked on Robert Altman’s film, Kansas City, best remembered for its musical score performed by famous jazz musicians.

Singer and composer Lizz Wright will perform at the Rovinj Jazz Festival on Saturday, July 16th. This passionate singer is held in high regard by her peers, and has collaborated with many known musicians, like Toots Thielemans, Regina Carter, David Sanborn and Amos Lee. Her vocal style has been compared to that of Norah Jones, and five albums she has released thus far, include performances by famous musicians, such as guitarist Bill Frisell, vocalists Gregory Porter and Angelique Kidjo and many others. Lizz Wright performs her own songs, but also traditional ones, as well as compositions

by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Chick Corea, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton etc.

The second weekend of jazz in Rovinj will be kicked off by Stefan Milenković and Marko Hatlak with their ninety-minute music-stage program, Tango Compas, and a repertoire of compositions by A. Piazzolla, R. Galliano and G.M. Rodrigues. Globally-renowned violinist Milenković, who gained fame as a child, and Slovenian concert accordion player Marko Hatlak have joined forces with the Stefan Milenkovich & Marko Hatlak Tango Compas Band, which consists of pianist Marko Črnčec and contrabassist Luka Herma Gaiser; they will also be joined on stage by singer Ana Bezjak. Tango Compas explores the genre of tango, and will present their first CD, which consists of songs from the earliest period of the tango repertoire, by authors such as Rodrigues, Canaro, Caceres and others, as well as a contemporary approach to tango

through the unique interpretation of Piazzolla’s and Galliano’s music.

Grammy winners, Nicholas Payton, and Jane Monheit will perform at the Rovinj Jazz Festival on July 16th. Payton is one of the best trumpeters of contemporary jazz, who has been influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder and bands such as Earth, Wind & Fire. One of his teachers was Wynton Marsalis, whom he played music with in his early career, while later on, he worked with such famous jazz players as Art Blakey, Clark Terry, Herbie Hancock and others. He has also performed with musicians of other music genres, such as Ray Charles, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John. His music career consists of elements of various genres, but also the tradition of New Orleans jazz, so it is not surprising that Payton has released an album dedicated to Louis Armstrong.

Often compared to Ella Fitzgerald and Diana Krall, Jane Monheit is one of the most highly-renowned jazz singers of the younger generation. At seventeen, she enrolled in the Manhattan School of Music and started performing on the New York club scene. She has worked with stars of jazz and Brazilian musicians, such as John Pizzarelli, Terence Blanchard, and Michael Buble; she has performed with numerous symphony orchestras, recorded music for several films and released nine solo albums.

On Saturday, July 20th, the sixth Rovinj Jazz Festival will end with a performance by Amira Medunjanin, a fantastic singer from Sarajevo, whose interpretations of sevdah music gained her the nickname of Bosnian Billie Holliday over the last several years, and who has won over audiences with her live performances at local and foreign venues. For instance, apart from selling out shows at the Zagreb Youth Theatre and the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall, Amira Medunjanin has had the opportunity of performing for audiences of the Rovinj Festival twice already; frenetic reactions from the crowd and her fantastic performances are two reasons she is performing at the festival once again this year.  ROVINJ JAZZ FESTIVAL 2016 MJESTO ODRŽAVANJE KONCERTA: BIVŠA TVORNICA DUHANA ROVINJ FORMER ROVINJ TABACCO FACTORY POČETAK/START: 21 h KARTE/TICKETS: WWW.EVENTIM.HR 1.

O

tvorenje novoga putničkog terminala Međunarodne zračne luke Zagreb Franjo Tuđman, pridonijet će kontinuiranom rastu zračnog prometa u Hrvatskoj. Snažan i iskusan međunarodni konzorcij osigurao je ovom projektu sinergiju znanja i međunarodne prakse u zrakoplovnoj industriji. Sukladno poslovnom planovima Međunarodne zračne luke Zagreb, očekuje se da će razvoj i rast kapaciteta rezultirati daljnjim porastom prometa i kontinuiranim povećanjem broja putnika, a i povećanjem mreže dostupnih, izravnih, letova. Zračna luka posljednjih godina bilježi porast broja putnika, što je posljedica rasta u prvom redu Croatia Airlinesa, ali i dolaska novih zrakoplovnih prijevoznika.

Otvorenjem novoga putničkog terminala u ožujku 2017. godine povećat će se kapacitet od 3,5 milijuna putnika godišnje, a u kasnijim fazama ovog projekta putnički će se terminal proširiti na kapacitet 5 - 8 milijuna putnika.

Novi putnički terminal značajno će pridonijeti boljem pozicioniranju zračne luke i postati zaštitni znak grada Zagreba, a jačanjem mreže letova i sinergijom poslovnih aktivnosti kreirat će i nova radna mjesta te osigurati trajno naslijeđe za buduće generacije.

T

he opening of the International Zagreb Airport Franjo Tuđman’s new passenger terminal will help continue the upward trend in Croatian passenger air traffic. Over the past years alone passenger traffic at the airport boosted, primarily as a result of Croatia Airlines growth and a number of new entrant airlines.

Strong and consistent consortium behind the project ensures the synergy of knowledge, international know-how and experience. Combined with the goal-oriented business approach at the International Zagreb Airport it is expected that development and growth of the airport’s handling capacity, as well as the increase in the air travel demand and network of available direct routes, will be achieved as planned.

Upon opening of the airport’s New Passenger Terminal for public in March 2017 it will have

the capacity to handle 3.5 million passengers per year, while in subsequent phases of this project, the new passenger terminal will be expanded to reach an annual capacity of five-eight million annual passengers.

Moreover, this new landmark will become essential to Zagreb’s image thus contributing, enforcing and positioning the airport’s role, continuously improving connectivity and synergies, creating new jobs and apprenticeships and securing a lasting legacy for the future generations.

PUTUJTE U DOMAĆEM PROMETU U domaćem prometu naše smo letove nastojali prilgoditi vašojCY povećanoj potražnji tijekom ljetne turističke sezone. Novost jeCMY da Croatia Airlines dvaput na tjedan povezuje Zagreb s oto-K kom Bračem kako biste što brže i jednostavnije stigli na vaše odredište tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. Stoga iz Zagreba otputujte na otok Brač (utorkom u 12 h i subotom u 11,40 h), a s otoka Brača poletite u Zagreb i izbjegnite gužvu (utorkom u 14,05 h i subotom u 13.05 h). U ponudi su povoljni jednosmjerni letovi.

DOMESTIC TRAFFIC In domestic traffic, we have adjusted our flight timetable to accommodate higher demand during the summer tourist season.

We have introduced flights from Zagreb to the Island of Brač two times a week to provide travellers with easier and faster access to this destination during the summer months. You can fly from Zagreb to the Island of Brač as follows: on Tuesdays at 12:00 p.m., on Saturdays at 11:40 a.m.; and from the Island of Brač to Zagreb on Tuesdays at 14:05 p.m., and on Saturdays at 13:05 p.m.) to avoid the heavy road traffic.
