Hvar Theatre, Renaissance theatre in Hvar, Croatia.
The theatre occupies the upper floor of the Arsenal building, featuring preserved frescoes and a stage constructed with marble and wood elements.
Established in 1612 under Pietro Semitecolo's governance, this public theatre opened its doors to all social classes, from fishermen to nobility.
The venue maintains its function as a cultural center where performances, carnivals, and theatrical events connect the local community.
The theatre underwent extensive restoration work from 1989 to 2020, receiving investments of over 35 million Croatian Kuna for preservation efforts.
The interior contains two notable murals: an 1819 fresco depicting an unknown city and a 1900 painting showing the restored Governor's Palace.
