Korcula: Big Revelin Tower
Korčula is best known within Croatia for its exceptionally well-preserved medieval walled old town. Set on the northeastern shore of Korčula Island, the town faces the Pelješac Channel, the narrow Adriatic passage separating the island from the Pelješac Peninsula. Its compact core is laid out with stone lanes running from a central spine towards the walls, a plan often compared to a fishbone. The Revelin Tower and Land Gate mark the historic entrance, while St Mark’s Cathedral stands at the summit of the peninsula-like old town. Venetian rule shaped much of Korčula’s surviving architecture, giving its squares, ramparts and houses a notably unified character.

Korčula sits on the Pelješac Channel of the Adriatic Sea in Croatia’s Dubrovnik-Neretva County, where a densely built, walled old town crowns a narrow peninsula on the island’s northeast coast. Its stone lanes follow a fishbone pattern that channels summer breezes while reducing exposure to stronger winds. Venetian rule left a clear imprint on the fortifications, gates and towers, while St Mark’s Cathedral stands on the old town’s central square. Korčula is also associated with Moreška, a traditional sword dance performed by local groups. Ferry services link the town with the Pelješac Peninsula and nearby islands.

Shaped by the sea routes of the southern Adriatic, Dubrovnik-Neretva County grew into Croatia’s southernmost county. Its territory is notably fragmented: the walled city of Dubrovnik faces the Adriatic, while the Pelješac Peninsula and the islands of Korčula, Mljet and Lastovo extend along the coast. The Neretva River reaches the sea north of Pelješac, forming Croatia’s best-known delta landscape. Dubrovnik’s Old City, once the centre of the Republic of Ragusa, is enclosed by renowned defensive walls and is UNESCO-listed. Mljet brings a quieter, wooded island character, centred on a national park with saltwater lakes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Dubrovnik-Neretva County.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
