Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Set in Ulcinj’s Old Town, Ljetnja scena leverages the city’s medieval ambiance. The Slaves’ Square (Trg robova) and Balšić Tower, remnants of the Ottoman and Balšić periods, provide a backdrop that connects modern performances to Ulcinj’s maritime heritage and history of coastal trade. The festival promotes local traditions and intercultural dialogue through staged plays and music.
