Abstract
Kaštela predstavljaju grad od sedam mjesta koji se nalazi između Trogira i Solina. Svojom bogatom poviješću a samim tim i kulturnom baštinom ovaj grad zanimljiv je za proučavanje tradicijske kulture. U radu se opisuje pregršt tradicijskog sadržaja, za početak se ukratko opisuje povijest grada Kaštela te tadašnji način života kao i način odijevanja. Nakon toga slijedi legenda koja obilježava cijeli grad, ona o Miljenku i Dobrili, čija priča privlači posjetitelje diljem svijeta. Najmnogobrojnije su predstavljeni vjerski običaji, koji, miješajući se sa pučkim, poganskim običajima, čine nerazdvojivu cjelinu, to jest crkveno – pučku baštinu. Grad čini posebnim i duga tradicija usmenog pjesništva, brojne klape te pjevački zborovi koji su također jedna od odlika identiteta grada kojima se na brojnim manifestacijama iskazuje tradicijska kultura. Osim iskazivanja tradicijske kulture, klape i zborovi bili su povod druženja i mnogobrojnih ljubavnih priča koje su započinjale dječačkim pjevanjem serenada djevojkama pod prozorom. Ovaj rad donosi pregled na kulturnu baštinu grada Kaštela uz pomoć mnogobrojnih izvora te intervjua sa kazivačicama koje su ili prepričavale svoje uspomene ili se prisjećale života svojih predaka.Kaštela presents a city of seven localities which is situated between Trogir and Solin. With its rich history and cultural heritage this city is interesting in a sense of learning about traditional culture. A handful of traditional content is described in the paper, for the beginning, history of the city is shortly described as well as the way of life and the way of dressing. This is followed by a legend which brands the entire city, the legend of Miljenko and Dobrila, a story which attracts visitors from all over the world. Most richly described are the religious mores, which intertwine with folk, gentile mores and in that way make an unbreakable unity or the religious – folk heritage. What makes this city special is also a long tradition of oral poetry and numerous singing assemblies which are one of the features of the identity of the city which show the traditional culture through various manifestations. Alongside being the features of traditional culture, singing assemblies were the reason for socializing as well as for many love stories which started with boys who were singing serenades in front of the window of a girl they liked. This paper brings an overview on cultural heritage of Kaštela with the help of many sources and an interview with narrators who either narrated their own memories or the life of their ancestors
