About this Stone
This picturesque coastal town sits on the southwestern tip of the country, where Venetian Gothic architecture lines narrow streets and piazzas that speak to centuries of layered history. Once settled by Illyrians and Romans in antiquity, the town flourished under Venetian rule from the 13th to the 18th centuries—a golden age that shaped its distinctive character and left its mark on nearly every building. The town’s path through the 20th century was tumultuous: after World War I it became Italian territory, then Yugoslav after World War II, before finally becoming part of an independent nation in 1991. Today it remains a gem for those drawn to Mediterranean charm, maritime heritage, and the kind of place where history feels tangible around every corner.
