Exploring the medieval walled town of Korcula, the birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous Venetian 13th-century CE world-traveller, writer and noodle importer, and watching a performance of moreska (the traditional Croatian sword dance which follows the story of the ancient conflict between the Red King versus the Black King about Bula, the Red King's fiancée, with a romantic and ritualized sword battle in seven circles representing seven different dances with swords).
