The Falconry Center, located in the serene pine forest of Šibenik’s Dubrava, just 8 km from the city center, offers a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating world of birds of prey, particularly falcons.
These majestic birds have always captivated humans, and falconry, the ancient art of hunting with falcons, has been practiced for over 5000 years. Originating in China, it spread through Persia and reached Europe, where it flourished during the Middle Ages. Although the introduction of firearms diminished its popularity, falconry survived thanks to enthusiasts, and today it is experiencing a renaissance.
At the Falconry Center, we proudly continue this noble tradition, revealing the secrets of falconry to our visitors. For those seeking a deeper understanding, we offer programs that provide further insight into the world of birds of prey.
