"Alkarska Koračnica" (Alkar March).
"Sinjska Alka" is a Croatian knight game of chivalry.
It is held every year on a Sunday in the first third of August in Sinj, on the anniversary of the victory over the Turkish invaders on August 14, 1715.
On that day, 700 Croatian soldiers from Sinj managed to repel the onslaught of the 60,000-strong army of the Turkish serasker Mehmed Pasha Čelić.
On November 15, 2010, the Alka of Sinj was registered on the UNESCO list of Intangible World Heritage in Europe.
