Back in the time of knights and nobles
Alka, the knight tournament in Sinj, Croatia, is a symbol of heroes, faith, and folk culture. It is a pride of Croatia, celebrated on the first Sunday in August. Alka commemorates the victory of Sinj knights over the Ottoman army in 1715. Immerse yourself in history, ride an Alkar horse, visit the Sinj fortress, explore the old town walls, discover the Alka museum, and marvel at the "miraculous" painting in the Franciscan monastery. Experience why Sinjska Alka holds a special place on UNESCO's intangible Heritage list.
