After the failure of German offensive on Drvar (Bosnia and Herzegovina) with the goal of capturing Yugoslav partisans leader Josip Broz Tito, Vis island served as a new headquarters to the marshal.
At dawn of June 7th, 1944, Tito arrived at Komiza port and than to the nearest escort located in the hamlet of Borovik, where there were two natural caves. The higher one was arranged for Tito. Its natural extension to form lobby was used as a dining room and meeting rooms. In a small recess of this expansion there was arranged a space for his dog Tiger. The cave continues to enlarge into two separated cells - in one was placed desk and chair on which there was a German inductor phone, and in the other cell Tito's bed. The surroundings of the cave were also regulated, both for safety reasons and to improve conditions for the stay. Marshal at the end of August continuously lived and worked in the cave "despite bad experience in Drvar he was still prone to the caves" (Maclean, British commander who helped Tito to reach Vis).
This site attracts many foreign tourists, who don't miss the chance to stand inside the caves.
