FIND OUT WHY VIS WAS CALLED "KEY OF THE ADRIATIC"

Complete historical overview of Vis island's military heritage

Vis Island holds many historic secrets, from the time of Diomedes, Platon and Issa to Vis marked by English presence on the Adriatic sea, at the times of being part of Francis Josephs's empire, to becoming the base of commands of Tito and resistance partisans. Fortresses, military subways and labyrinths of tunnels.

But, some of the most attractive are the military tunnels dug throughout the island after 1945 when the island was a major military base for Yugoslav army. There are over 30 different military objects scattered across the island: One of the most attractive is the missile base at Stupišće point near Komiža. It was a huge base for land-sea missiles with impressive tunnel and bunker complex to be on alert in case of invasion.
