The Adriatic Aphrodite

Walking City Tour

50 min

Stroll through the city surrounded by walls and towers that still define Korcula's silhouette. The old street grid has preserved its original herringbone layout and sits above the Peljesac Channel as one of the most recognizable historic Adriatic townscapes.

Written records from the tenth century already mention the town walls. As the settlement expanded, Korcula developed into an advanced urban center and introduced the Statute of the Town and Island in 1214, recognized as one of the oldest legal acts in this part of Europe and noted for prohibiting slavery.

At the crossroads of trade routes and craftsmanship, Korcula became an Adriatic cultural landmark. The three-aisled cathedral and works linked to Marko Andrijic shaped the view visitors still admire today, while local stories about King Tomislav's commemorative plaque reveal strong historical identity across centuries of political change.

After the historical framework, local guides born in Korcula lead guests through legends, intrigues, and everyday life details in a narrative designed to be engaging for different social and age groups.
