Historic stone alleys of Korčula's Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Korcula is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Dalmatia .. Adorable in the old town are its narrow streets and the idyllic restaurants and thereby give the city a dreamlike flair.

Korčula city fortifications

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town of Korčula lies on a promontory protected by a 14th-century city fortification with four defensive towers and a city wall. Unfortunately, the wall no longer stands at its full height today. In many places, the wall was demolished to a height of approximately 4 meters or less, and the stones were reused elsewhere in the Old Town.

The towers also have names:
- Small Prince's Tower (1449),
- Large Prince's Tower (1483),
- Veliki Revelin Tower (14th century) with the Land Gate, and
- Tower of the Western Sea Gate (with a Latin inscription from 1592),
which indicates that Korčula was founded after the fall of Troy.

View of Korčula Old Town from the Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old town, enclosed by the walls, is located on an offshore peninsula. This strategic location was crucial for the settlement of the population. Surrounded by the sea on three sides and accessible by land only on one side, the city was difficult for enemies to capture and therefore easy to defend.

St. Mark's Cathedral (Korčula)

Highlight • Religious Site

At the highest point of the old town is the cathedral Sveti Marko, whose bell tower dominates the whole old town. The (somewhat adventurous) ascent to the bell tower is an absolute must and is rewarded with a great 360 ° panorama. Cost in 2019 about 30 kuna.

Korčula is a really beautiful city with many beautiful photo opportunities. You can park for free at the starting point of my tour (parking deck shopping center). The history of the house of "Marco Polo" is not 100% proven .... anyway it's worth a visit. Have fun viewing my tour.
