The great success of the Croats was noticed by the French king who formed a special elite troop which consisted of Croatian warriors. At that time the scarf which they wore around their neck was seen and the French were fascinated by it. 

The French started to call these scarves Les Cravates and it soon became a fashion detail which was spread all over the world.

Linđo (pronounced [lǐːndʑɔ]) is a popular dance of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik region. It is danced to the accompaniment of lijerica (an old Southern Dalmatian instrument with three strings), which came from the Eastern Mediterranean in the late 18th century and spread on the Adriatic coast in the 19th century.


In the past it was performed exclusively to the accompaniment of the bellows. The dance master plays sitting, with lijerica on his left knee, while stamping with his right foot, thus dictating rhythm to the dancers. They move in a circle around the dance master, who gives commands (in rhyme, humorous and often with double meaning). He also decides who will dance with whom and dictates the change of dance figures, along with encouraging the dancers to compete in improvisations.

See how it looks in modern performance and when tourists dance on lindjo in the streets of Dubrovnik.
