Sažetak
The objective of this paper is to reveal the complexities of the contemporary perceptions and attitudes of the elderly from Zadar and its surroundings about the cultural heritage of the city they live in, including its multicultural history and opportunities for intercultural dialogue offered by the city’s legacy. This paper presents results of the analysis of data obtained by qualitative methodology i.e. by semi- structured interviews carried out with members of the home for the elderly in Zadar during 2016. The analysis and results point to the fact that interviewees in Zadar, due to city's historical context and their own life trajectories have a quite negative approach toward intercultural dialogue, that is not quite in line with the contemporary global discursive promotion of intercultural dialogue as the tool that could help facilitate conflicts raised by multicultural reality.
