Abstract
Throughout the history of the 19th and 20th centuries, the greater part of the coast and shores of Pula area, including the area of todayʼs Ližnjan municipality, had a military purpose, but the majority of military facilities lost their military purpose at the end of the 20th century. The paper deals with an episode from the military history of Ližnjan at the beginning of the 20th century, and points out the possibilities of using it for educational and tourism purposes. In the already existing project revaluation of Pulaʼs military heritage, it is possible to include the event of the Kuje Bay naval manoeuvres, because that event holds elements that enable the wider public to become familiar with its significance through educational and touristic concepts, among which the narrative concept stands out. All this can be the motive for the area’s new cultural product in accordance with the interest of the local community.
