Moreska Sword Dancing

Moreska Sword Dancing

Don't miss a performance of Moreska Sword Dancing, one of Korčula's proudest traditions. This unusual custom, that originated in Spain but is now unique to the island, is a choreographed battle dance over Princess Bula, who has been stolen from her true love the Red King (AKA the White King) by the enamoured Black King.
