Moreška Korcula icon png download

Performed only by males from Korcula town families, the mock battle dance with each soldier holding two swords is traditionally performed on July 29 (St. Theodore's Day) and weekly during the summer tourist season. Documentation shows that the Moreška sword dance has been performed in Korcula since at least the 17th century, but the dance may be older, since double swords were part of known sword technique in the 16th century.
