Advent has started. The first candle on the Advent wreath in front of the Small Onofrio Fountain in the heart of the Old City of Dubrovnik was lit last night.

The Christmas period has begun and every Saturday evening until Christmas Day a candle will be lit. The first candle was lit by the Mayor of Dubrovnik, Andro Vlahusic, in a special program to mark the first step of Advent.
