November 20, 2018 - Cultural Center "Nikola Đurković" Kotor - City Library and Reading Room, for the celebration of 21 November- Kotor Municipality Day, has organized a multimedia lecture for children and young people "Meet the secret world of the Bokelian Mandrać and take a photo".
It is not easy to translate “mandrać” in English, but let’s say it is dry stone jetty, constructed along whole Adriatic coast. Most of these valuable cultural heritage constructions in Boka Bay are demolished, or damaged with inadequate interpolations, such as concrete covers. Mandrać, as a dry stone construction, allows sea water to circulate among stone blocks, so this kind of constructions don’t present any natural threat, neither in disruption of sea currents nor in the destruction of marine organisms inhabiting the sea bottom.
The lecture will be held by architect Maja Krušić and ethnologist Jelena Vidović from the Department for the Protection of Cultural Goods, biologist Ines Peraš, a scientist from the Institute of Marine Biology from Kotor and Ivan Gvido Krivokapić, Coordinator at Kotor and Fishery Tourism Organization.
The lecture will take place in the multimedia hall of the Kotor Cultural Center, on Thursday, November 22 at 10 am.
