Discover the Old Town's Medieval Charm
Your journey into the heart of Korčula begins in the Old Town, a medieval walled city that's often likened to a mini Dubrovnik. The ancient ramparts provide a strong visual appeal, while the fishbone layout of its cobbled streets unveils an intelligent design to reduce wind and maximize the island's gentle breezes. A stroll through these narrow lanes will lead you to the centerpiece of the Old Town - the striking St. Mark's Cathedral. With its intricate stonework and grand presence, it's a testament to the island's skilled stonemasons and rich history.
Venture to Landmark Museums and Galleries
For the culturally curious, sightseeing in Korčula offers a wealth of museums and galleries. Among them, the
Korčula Town Museum provides a deep dive into the region's past, from ancient artifacts to detailed accounts of sea-faring and shipbuilding that have shaped its identity. Art aficionados will appreciate the
Icons Gallery, housing a prized collection of Byzantine icons that reflect the island's religious heritage and artistic prowess.
Explore Marco Polo's Alleged Birthplace
History buffs will be thrilled by the chance to visit the house said to be the birthplace of the legendary explorer Marco Polo. While the truth of this claim is shrouded in mystery, visitors can climb the tower of the house for an awe-inspiring panoramic view of the city and the sea that launched countless voyages. Engage with the past as you learn about Polo's adventures and imagine how Korčula played a role in his storied life. More about Marco Polo's legacy can be found on
