The Birthday of Stari Grad
From the Charter of Pharos Town Day
…‘Twas the year 384 BC when the founders, settling by the sea, built a town to fulfill the ancient prophecy of a town to which there will be no end if it is born on the solstice!
And so it was that the cornerstone was placed on the equinox and the long-lasting city of Pharos was born – a champion of urban civilisation in our region – at the same time as the opening of the 99th ancient Olympic games was celebrated, and therefore our town, symbolically tied to this event, celebrates its anniversary on September 9 – Day of the Pharos Town, the birthday of the oldest town in our homeland of Croatia.
