About Korčula

Because of its cultural heritage and numerous legends told over the generations it is undoubtedly one of the most interesting islands in the Croatian Adriatic. Apart from the town of Kor?ula, other towns on the island that are worth mentioning are Lumbarda and Vela Luka.The legend has it that in the 12th c. B.C. the town was founded by the Trojan hero Antenor, while Greco-Roman writers recorded the town as Korkyra Melania. The Latin name Corcyra Nigra (black Korčula) was given to the island because of its dense woods.
Since time immemorial the inhabitants of Korčula have been known as skilled stone masons, shipbuilders and seafarers. The local masters built the Gothic cathedral of St. Mark over as many as 150 years. Today, it proudly stands in the center of the town as its most valuable building. Among other numerous buildings of immeasurable beauty, are Arneri Palace, Renaissance Gabrielis Palace (16th c.) presently housing the Town Museum, former Bishop's Palace (17th c.) with the rich Abbey Treasury, Town Hall (16th c.), chapel of Our Lady of Ploče, the Land Gate (17th c.) that leads to Revelin, the grand tower (15th c.).
For many years now Korčula has been a major tourist destination because of its various types of accommodation, wide variety of sports and leisure activities, especially watersports and many organized trips to a number of destinations.
