The old town of Korčula is one of the best-preserved medieval island towns in the Mediterranean. The walls and fortresses protected its strategic location in the past. The Town's streets are laid out in a fish-bone pattern, providing the inhabitants with safety and comfort. The Statute of the Town and the Island from 1214 has regulated the life of the people of Korčula for over 700 years.
Korčula is an ideal year-round holiday destination.
