Korcula is one of the most beautiful islands of Croatia. The island's capital also shares the same name. This ancient city, called "Little Dubrovnik", is simply among the most beautiful towns located on the Croatian coast and is extremely well known for its unique and stunning architecture. There is plenty to see and do in Korcula. Visit the house of Marco Polo as this is the main attraction here, which can be visited in the old city centre. The Town Museum is based in the palace Gabrielis, which is one of the most beautiful Korcula palaces. If relaxation is, what you are looking for or simply to explore this place, then a walk around the old city gives you this perfect chance to witness that and to see the many towers that protected the city against invaders. This is a great destination for families that want to relax and learn about new cultures and see great architecture.

Korčula - old town

Korčula (Italian: Curzola) is an ancient fortified town on the protected east coast of the island of Korčula, population 5,889 (2001), geographically located at 42°57′N, 17°07′E.

The walled old city, with streets arranged in a herringbone pattern allowing free circulation of air but protecting against strong winds, is tightly built on a promontory that guards the narrow sound between the island and the mainland. Building outside the walls was forbidden until the 18th century, and the wooden drawbridge was only replaced in 1863. All of Korčula's narrow streets are stepped with the notable exception of the street running alongside the south-eastern wall, called the Street of Thoughts as one did not have to worry about the steps. The town includes several interesting historic sights: the central Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral of St Mark (built from 1301 to 1806), the 15th-century Franciscan monastery with its beautiful Venetian Gothic cloister, the civic council chambers, the palace of the former Venetian governors, grand 15th and 16th century palaces of the local merchant nobles, and the massive city fortifications.

The devout Catholic inhabitants of Korčula keep alive old folk church ceremonies and a war dance (moreška, maresca) , once (in the middle ages) performed all over the Mediterranean.

The city is notable for its Statute dating back to 1214 which prohibited slavery, making Korčula the first place in the world to outlaw the practice.

Korčula, like other islands and many coastal cities in Dalmatia, also displays a dual Latin-Slav culture which developed from the late Roman era to the emergence of the modern Croatian state. The island therefore possesses a distinct Adriatic or Mediterranean cultural personality which sets it apart from the mountainous Dalmatian hinterland and continental Croatia further north
