City
Šibenik
Production
Scene
In Minerska, a former barracks became a setting for Brešan’s comedy, remembered by audiences for decades.
ExploreAbout This Location
How the War Started on My Island was filmed in this bay on St Anthony’s Channel. The former military complex connects Ivo and Vinko Brešan’s comic vision with the real landscape of Šibenik.
The site now houses the St Anthony’s Channel Visitor Centre. A walk by the sea leads to a place where a story of soldiers, islanders and an attempt to avoid conflict became a Croatian screen classic.
