Experience the thrill of tradition at the Alka of Sinj, an equestrian knight's game steeped in history and heritage. Held annually on the first Sunday in August since 1717, this UNESCO-listed event commemorates the heroic defense of Sinj against the Ottoman army. Watch as skilled horsemen known as "Alkars" compete in a daring display of horsemanship, celebrating the courage and resilience of the Sinj region. Take advantage of the solemn procession honoring Our Lady of Sinj, a cherished tradition, on August 15th. Sinj is approximately a 45-minute drive from Hotel Štacija.

This year, the Alka of Sinj will take place on the 4th of August (2024). This will be the 309th Alka of Sinj.
