Events and exhibitions across Croatia over the course of 2025 will mark the 1,100th anniversary of the crowning of King Tomislav. The coronation of the nation’s first monarch took place in 925, an event acknowledged in a letter signed by Pope John X.
This effectively marked the beginning of Croatia as its own kingdom.
In echoes of the events that took place in Croatia for the 1,000th anniversary in 1925, an exhibition later this autumn at Zagreb’s Klovićevi Dvori Gallery will showcase archive material related to nationhood over the course of a millennium and more.
In Split and Zagreb, stage productions are being prepared at each city's National Theatre, as well as conferences and a scientific symposium.
