Abstract
After its work was prohibited, the Croatian Republican Peasant Party changed its name to the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) in 1925 and started its politically activity again. It was also re-established in Korčula with the response of all social strata. The party’s president was Frano Marinović. In the same year, throughout Croatia, especially in Zagreb, the HSS organized the celebration of the Millennium of the Croatian Kingdom. In Korčula, the HSS organized a large celebration with the erection of a plaque on the Tower of the Land Gate, the work of Frane Kršinić. In 1941, the plaque was thrown and smashed. Blagoje Kapelina took it and hid it. The plaque was put back during the Croatian Spring in 1971.
