This exhibition was opened on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Vis, marking one of the most significant battles in the Adriatic Sea and is deeply etched in the memory of Croats. In July 1866, an Italian fleet led by Admiral Carlo Pellion attacked Vis, hoping to win this important strategic point; the heroism of the then Austrian fleet mostly filled with Croats defeated their better armed opponents. The exhibit details the true heroes of the battle, how it reawakened a sense of Croatian identity, original artefacts and more.
