Instead of surrendering, the inhabitants of Lastovo armed themselves and attacked. Women and children prayed to Sv. Jure for help and the help came in form of a storm which destroyed the Catalan fleet on its way to Lastovo.\u00a0 Later the islanders captured the messenger, took him through the village on a donkey to mock him, and let him down 300 meters of rope before they set him on fire.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">One of the first written evidences dates back to 1747, when the duke of Dubrovnik, Ivan Franjo Sorgona, wrote one poem about the Carnival of Lastovo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hotspots.net.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Maskari-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2443\" alt=\"Maskari 1\" src=\"http:\/\/hotspots.net.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Maskari-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/croatia-hotspots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Maskari-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/croatia-hotspots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Maskari-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">This event is celebrated as the Carnival every year over a period of three days.
