Three bell towers soar above the jumble of tiled rooftops, pointing to the source of Hvar's magic; the sun and limitless blue skies. In the town, the streets and people converge in an expansive piazza, the largest in all of Dalmatia. This pedestrian-only area connects the older part of town to the 15th-century side. This is a pedestrian-only area.
