The Dubrovnik-Neretva
county is rich in carefullycultivated landscape and places
with long history. Numerous mon-
uments, archives and magnificent
treasuries testify to this. It is the
region of the historic towns of
Dubrovnik, Korula, Ston; the re-
mains of ancient Narona and the
lost, possibly sunken town of Epi-
daur; of important harbours of Ploe and Metkovi; of com-
munities of great historical importance Cavtat, Lopud,
Slano, Mali Ston, Orebi; and of a few dozen little villages
blending into the landscape of the coast or a river bank, of
a hill or a field. Also, there are about a hundred renaissance
summer houses built by merchants, nobles and seamen in
nice bays, or on the edges of valleys, surrounded by gardens
and parks. On certain sites, these summer
houses were built in spectacular rows, like in
Rijeka Dubrovaka, on the island of ipan, in
Konavle. Many different sovereign and ma-
rine powers touched and clashed in this area
throughout its turbulent history: Byzantium,
the Saracens, Croatia, Normandy, Venice,
some small kingdoms and principalities, then
the Hungaro-Croatian state and through it
the Roman-German empire, the
Ottoman empire, Habsburgs andNapoleons empire. Situated on
such a crossroads, a small town like
Dubrovnik managed, through the
political artfulness of its nobles,
to achieve a wide and complete
form of self-government. Thus for
centuries it acted as a sovereign
state, the Republic of Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik turned its independence into a cult of freedom,
stressed on every possible occasion by its statesmen, envoys
and poets. In 1929, Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish writer,
wrote: Those who wish to see heaven on earth should come
to Dubrovnik. He was not only praising the glorious his-
tory of Dubrovnik, but also the natural features of the whole
region, known today as the Dubrovnik-Neretva county.
Indeed, if anyone attempted to fit together
natural characteristics in order to achieve a
perfect harmony between man and nature,
surely he would leave out some of the diver-
sity that God has granted to this region.

he entered the town. The proud com-
munity also trusted the creator of the
fountain, Pietro di Partino da Milano
a sculptor and the court artist of the
Aragons with the construction of
the stone reliefs on Kneev dvor, one
of the symbols of Dubrovniks identity. He also designed the re-
liefs on the fountains, intended to be an indication of the towns
prosperity. Not even the much more powerful rival town of Ven-
ice could afford such extravagance. The people of Korula, under
Venetian rule, were expected to carefully collect every drop of
water as a gift from heaven. In Korula, the cisterns were often
empty, and the barrels full of vintage wine. From some of the sil-
ver passing through the town, the images of saints and patrons forthe churches of Dubrovnik were made. Even after
a large number of earthquakes, fires and other
adversities, the towns churches, cathedral
and convents still pride themselves on their
treasury of gold and silver objects. All this
time, plenty of fresh water irrigates the
rich and fertile soil of the Neretva delta!

Throughout his-
tory, Dubrovnik
has prided itself on
its abundant water
supplies. In the
scorching Medi-
terranean, where each drop of water is of
essential value, the first thing that catches
the eye after entering the city through
any of its entrances is a richly decorated,
fast-flowing fountain. This has been so ever
since the fourth decade of the 15th century.
Fountains have always been the most obvi-
ous symbols of the towns prosperity.From the distant mines situated
in the surrounding area, silver was transported
to Dubrovnik by dangerous routes, to be
exported by sea. Dubrovnik could offer
the most precious kind of silver, called
glama, an alloy of silver and gold. Prof-
its from the silver trade made it possible
to build a very complex water-supply sys-
tem. This would carry water from a dis-
tant spring to the town, to shine as silver
itself and dazzle every visitor as soon as

its almost monopolistic commercial position. The boom which
followed saw an unprecedented growth in the commercial fleetwhich competed with the largest of the maritime fleets in the
Mediterranean. As the number of commercial ships carrying
Dubrovnik flags grew, so did their nave, specifically constructed
boats from Dubrovnik shipbuilders. The largest boats from the
shipyard could only be lowered into the sea on their starboard
side. This unique procedure is still not easily adopted by con-
temporary shipyards. And today, for lovers of hand-crafted boats,
natives of Korula still construct them; boats which evolved from
centuries of life beside the sea.
larger Venice. Here rose another exceptional
town, Korula, situated on the narrowest of pas-
sages full of small reefs. From the time of Ven-
ice, Korula was used as the most convenient
point for the monitoring of traffic. Both towns
are built upon cliffs protecting extensive ports. The roles of both
towns gave them their characteristic shape and their particular
town plan. Many of the streets in Korula lead to the highest point
of the town, the bell-tower of
the Cathedral of St Mark. The
streets of Dubrovnik descendfrom the clifftops to the bay,
towards the wide main street
called Stradun. The strength
of Dubrovnik resulted from its
skill in diplomacy which the
political elite often took advan-
tage of for their own benefit.
By intelligent manoeuvring, it
benefitted from the Turkish ad-
vance towards Central Europe
in the 16th century to establish
Dubrovnik, one of the smallest cities,enjoyed great importance in the move-ment of goods and travelers in Europe for a
thousand years. The city was awarded this role
due to its exceptional geographical position and
held onto it for a long time. It is the last protected point along the
sailing route from the ports of the North-western Adriatic towards
the south-east. South of Dubrovnik, the only thing facing sail-
ing boats is the deep, open sea.
During bad weather, Dubrovnik
presented a safe haven for trav-ellers patiently waiting for calm-
er seas or for those travelling by
land to destinations like Con-
stantinople, the wealthy cities
of the East and the Holy Land.
This is how this strong citadel,
a safe refuge for travellers, be-
came one of the most important
points along the world travel
route. Tiny Dubrovnik thus be-
came the counterpoint to the

MARCO POLO
Many documents mentionthe town of Korula andthe island of the same name in the
Dubrovnik region as being the place of origin of the Polo
family, from which its most famous member, Marco, by
way of Venice set forth towards the East. Korula is one
of the best preserved planned medieval Mediterranean
towns, whose layout dates back to the XIII century. Due to
its developed shipping trade, the town was always adorned
with a progressive and open spirit. A high degree of order
in town life is confirmed by the town statute from 1214,
which corresponds in time with similar provisions in the
most developed European towns. Along with the origin of
his family, the maritime battle of the two trade Republics
of Genoa and Venice in 1298, one of the largest and most
vicious maritime battles in
Medieval times, also linksMarco Polo with Korula.
The Polo galleon was in the
Venetian fleet, under the
command of Marco himself,
who was then 44 years of
age. Captured, in a Genoese
jail he began writing books
in which he summarised his
twenty-four year stay in, at
the time, unexplored parts of
the world. As he wasnt much
of a writer, he dictated his
recollections to a writer of chivalrous novels Rustichello. So
it was that in the Old French language emerged the most
translated book of all times, after the Bible, whose original
title was Divisament don Monde (The description of the
world), later called Il Milione, which means A million
wonders. The appearance and expansion of the writings
about the trips of Marco Polo, his father and uncle, meant
a shift of the Eastern border of the known world. The va-
riety of Marco Polos observations and acquired knowledge
enabled historians, sociologist, geographers, ethnologists
and anthropologists to create, or evoke an image of the new
world. Europeans first heard about Tibet, Madagascar, Ja-
pan and other countries from Marco Polo, they heard about
paper money, coal, oil and porcelain for the first time, they
were awed by the descriptions of wondrous landscapes,
useful plants, unusual ani-
mals and spices; some Chi-nese inventions like blocks
in printing and gun powder
were a great novelty in the
West, while the compass be-
came an essential instrument
in navigation. However, in
the end, Europeans and later
everyone else became lov-
ers of the Chinese culinary
product spaghetti which was
brought to their table by this
great world traveller.

NEPTUNES
WELCOME
Sailing or motor boating, rowing, swimming, spearor big game fishing; these sports have their rootsin this and surrounding areas. One of the oldest row-
ing lanes in this part of the
world was established by the
Austrian Emperor and King
Francis Joseph in Rijeka
Dubrovaka. The windsurf
area in front of Viganj near
Orebi, which enjoys the
best weather conditions forthis sport in the whole of the
Adriatic, was the site of the
European Championship in
1990. Traditionally, water-
polo is the most popular sport
in the region. It is a spectacular experience to witness
one of the Jug games in the strongest league in the world
the Croatian water-polo league. For those interested in
sub-aqua pursuits, either as a challenge or a novelty, there
are diving schools on Mljet and in Priapac on the island
of Korula. Sailing enthusiasts will be able to satisfy their
needs in the three well-equipped marinas in Dubrovnik,
Korula and Lumbarda, as well as numerous other har-bours. Those interested in competitive sailing will remem-
ber well the spectacular climax of the World Champion-
ship and a traditional international regatta Bari Trani
Korula Dubrovnik.
Boat trips to the River Neretva Reservations will delight
those who are interested in exploring the natural world
while enjoying a river outing.
The combination of the South Adriatics most crystal clear
water (J. J. Cousteau) and the locals who know how to en-
joy it, creates a wide range of opportunities for the visitor
who wishes to actively enjoy his time at the coast. Visitors
will never have trouble finding something to do the only
problem might be finding time to do everything.

Stone holds sway overall the streets of Du-brovnik, Korula and other
towns and villages of Dal-
matia, boldly finding its
way into houses, churches,gardens and parks. It etches
its hallmark into this ancient architecture. While still part
of nature, stone only appears to be hostile; in the walls
of houses it is sturdy and reliable; in the intricate adorn-
ments on buildings it is flexible and light; under the feet
of many passers-by it is smooth and enduring.
Since ancient times, things have been made from stone.
Time has left but a small mark upon it and indeed has
only added to its beauty and harmony with its surround-
ings. The bright sunlight does nothing to diminish its
refinement. There is noth-
ing either glamorous or os-
tentatious about it. In the
rain stony facades softlyreflect the town. Resistant
but vulnerable, hard but
fragile, stone has for centu-
ries been skillfully manipu-
lated by artisans in creating
architectural masterpieces
such as Dubrovnik, Korula
and many small towns like
Cavtat and Ston. Their beauty and proportions congruous
with their surroundings, evoke the admiration of visitors
and, because of their perfection and enduring characters,
are the object of specialist studies.

This small region hasa picturesque qual-ity, with people who have not
abandoned their traditional
way of life, as if it were a vast
stage on which the most sub-
tle of performances was be-
ing acted out-life itself. The
visitor finds remarkable charm in its exotic rural character but
even more so when it erupts dazzlingly with festivals, proces-
sions and carnivals from ilipi to Lastovo, from Dubrovnik
to Korula and Metkovi.
The city of Dubrovnik is a pageant of such open picturesque
scenes. Fortifications, bridges, palaces, balconies, chapels,
terraces, town squares, streets, monastic cloisters the
city is full of theatre like atmosphere and
rhythm. The events have already long been
discovered, for both the performers and the
audience. There is a difference between the
sound of steps on the city stone pavements
and those on the floorboards of the theatre. In
this architecture of gentility and harmony, di-
rectors always discover a new charm or beauty
which for decades continue to be bestowed

upon the Dubrovnik Festi-
vals devoted audience. Du-
brovnik has with ease reached
the heights of Helsignor,
Taurida, Rome and Verona
and it seems to us that these
universal works were written
expressly for the Dubrovnik
stage. Dubrovnik though will remain the one and only Du-
brovnik and every classic performance on its stage is an un-
repeatable experience. In 1933, a performance of the pastoral
Dubravka written by Dubrovniks Ivan Gunduli, the great
classic writer, and performed to great acclaim on the stage
before the Rectors Palace, is known as the first Dubrovnik
Festival. As early as 1950, Dubrovnik with its summer fes-
tival was heralded a world phenomenon in
new theatre. Surrounded by the architectural
beauty of Dubrovnik, actors from around the
world have found the inspiration to bring to
life renaissance sensibility, and revel in their
closer contact with the audience. The festival
has brought a new and wonderful atmosphere
to the town, and has become one more of Du-
brovniks essential attributes.

skills once again. Today Dubrovnik
represents the worlds most exten-
sive restoration project. Once again,
uncompromisingly, only traditional
techniques and materials are used:
stone, wood and kupe kanalice (a
traditional type of roofing slate). The current restoration of Du-
brovnik, however, is not simply a question of ancient skills and
modern techniques alone, it is the restoration
of the historic city as well as the human ele-
ment within it. The principles guiding the
restoration of Dubrovnik must be observed
in activities and projects concerning restora-
tion of other parts of the Dubrovnik-Neretva
county, especially the towns of Ston and
Korula, both of which are candidates for the
UNESCO world heritage sites. The restora-
tion, or rather reconstruction, of ancient Na-
rona, where Vid is situated today, will reveal
one of the most prosperous Adriatic settle-
ments of ancient times to the public.
Since its very beginnings,
Dubrovnik has been under
threat from various dangers: earth-
quakes, infernos and wars. Restora-
tion has thus, over the centuries,
been a constant concern of the city
authorities and the people of Dubrovnik. Leading restorers, both
foreign and domestic, have competed in achieving both practical
and artistic goals. The regulations govern-
ing restoration have always been laid down
by the town council: harmony and simplic-
ity and being faithful to a buildings original
character, which have always resulted in the
preservation of Dubrovniks identity. The
appearance of the town at the time of its
inclusion in the UNESCO list of world herit-
age in 1979, is a result of numerous restora-
tion works executed in the past. After the
1991 war, it also gained a place on the list of
endangered world heritage. International res-
toration experts are in situ, employing their

CELEBRATION
OF LIFE
Over the long history ofDubrovnik, the livingreality has always includeda general insecurity and a
ceaseless striving to preserve
freedom. Whether its ships sailed forth, their sails bellied
by a fair wind, or some misfortune compelled the citizens to
lick their wounds and start again from scratch, the love of the
common good (Gunduli) was still the essence of their vision
of Dubrava, in much the same spirit with which the ancient
Romans honoured it, that is as delicia mundi. The ideal of the
sanctity of life gave rise to a culture of beauty. Poets shaped
their tender feelings and dreamy images into collections of
love poems (canzonieri), seeking
the expanse of human happiness.
Comedy gaily portrayed the richness
of life within a prosaic setting, where
living characters and recent events
could be recognised (Dri). Besides
literature, music was also a source of
the wondrous (Sorkoevi). Finally,
the colourful festivals, which involved
all the townsfolk, filled Dubrovniks
streets and squares, as can still be
seen today during the festival of the
citys patron saint, St. Blaise (Vlaho).
This is a magnificent procession full
of mystical fervour, with the
Holy Mass, the afternoon
performances and feasts,which were attired in a blaze
of colour, with bands of
thick smoke gushing from the trumpets and bright coloured
standards. The Festival of St. Blaise is a ritual celebration
of life itself. The celebrations would resume with carnival
processions and festivities. There is always in these Dubrovnik
festivities something more to be learned about the precious
value of life. In a similar vein, there are carnival processions in
Orebi, lit by the lamps of sunken sailing ships, the carnival in
Cavtat, the Dubrovnik Diocese, Lastovo, and the Moreka on
Korula island: a rich choreography
portraying black and white knights
jousting for the affections of a maiden,
with an elaborate ethical motif: the
abductor is thus vanquished (see
figure on the next page).

features include: Rijeka Du-
brovaka and Ombla, the
sources of Europes longest
underground river; the Ner-
etva Delta and its wildlife reservation (abounding with birds,
fish, shells and eels); the bay of Maloston with ancient oyster
beds; Mljet National Park filled with beautiful lakes; Arbo-
retum Trsteno, containing a large number ofcarefully nurtured plants and the oldest and
largest plane-trees in Europe. It is also the
setting for the Lokrum Reservation which
hosts some of the most beautiful macchia, a
horticultural park set in the grounds of a Ben-
edictine convent, as well as the Botanical gar-
den proudly displaying its unique collection
of tropical and sub-tropical plants, imported
to this very day by loyal seamen from around
the world. The crowning glory of the collection is the array of
at least sixty variants of Eucalyptus tree. Lastovo and Korula
and their tiny neighbouring islands are bathed by the warm
Mediterranean currents flowing directly from Otrant, which
influences both the climate
and the way of life enjoyed
by the islanders. The current
brings with it numerous kinds
of fish; the predatory yellow-
tail, brightly coloured lobsters
and magnificently ugly frog-
fish. The most beautiful of all
souvenirs, the red reef, grows
on the sea-bed of Konavle,
Mljet, Korula and Lastovo.
Although geographicallysmall, this area boaststhe magnificent combination
of the clearest of Adriatic wa-
ters, the interiors karst system with its numerous fresh water
springs and the famous Neretva river in the Northeast of the
region. Integral to this meeting of land and sea are the islands
which form the southernmost tip of the Adri-atic coast. The defining characteristics of
the landscape are the evergreen flora, pine
and oak forests, macchia, karst fields, valleys
and plateaux as well as the unique delta of
the Neretva river. At the foot of high moun-
tains Mediterranean, tropical and sub-tropi-
cal plants grow, flower and bear fruit. Such
gifts of nature have been unfairly ignored by
visitors compared to the objects of beauty
created by man! The Dubrovnik-Neretva region is filled with
many natural phenomena of world wide repute: magnificent
Konavle, the plateau of Rudine, the valleys of Majkova,
Stonsko polje and Crna gora on Peljeac. Other significant

Rich offe r in Dubrovn ik restauran ts; Tradition al product s: wine, oysters,
cheese, prut (smoked ham), olives, dried figs and almonds, fish and seafood.
The local people lovingly cul-tivate the traditional way ofselecting and preparing food. When
traditional dishes, prepared according
to traditional recipes, are set before
a guest, this expresses
the highest esteem and
regard. In the Neretva
River valley, the most
typical dish is eel or frog
brodet (stew). Game dishes, particularly those made from wild
duck, are a real treat and an unforgettable culinary experience.
If you set out for Ston, you will reach a region of the highest
gastronomic pleasures, a place where you will taste oysters, mus-
sels, clams and other delicacies. You can wash them down with
the best wines, grown only a few miles away: dinga, plavac,
postup and peljeac. The residents of Korula, a coastal town
opposite Orebi, treasure such traditional dishes as spinning-
wheel fettucine or cukarini. The residents
of Blato will proudly offer you a choice of
some eighty dishes, drinks and sweetmeats,
whose recipes they jealously guard, to dazzle
guests at annual festivities. Neither will you
be permitted to depart Vela Luka without
first tasting what it has to offer in the way of
food. The wide choice of delicacies, includ-
ing fish, crabs, shellfish, sea urchins
and cabbage would do honour to a
Luculs feast. Those who wish to in-
dulge in the sin of gluttony would do
well to sail to Lastovo Island. Lobster
risotto or lobster pasta
will be an unforgettable
experience. A real gour-
met will enhance the
taste of these dishes by
sipping some good grk,
poip or maratina. Vari-
ations of this experience
are available in an even
more beautiful setting,
that being on the islands
of Mljet, ipan, Lopud and Koloep. The islanders often prepare
delicious dishes of dry fish and other seafood. Back on the coast,
you are strongly advised to visit the Slano
harbour and try famous Dalmatian smoked
ham and cheese. One shouldnt hurry on and
miss Zaton Mali and its famous black risotto.
A gastronomic tour of the region would not be
complete without a visit to Srebreno, Mlini
and Cavtat where you can enjoy the tradi-
tional green menestra (soup).

Take a pleasant breathing space from swimming and thesea. Your holiday will take on a new dimension with land-based excursions, in the pursuit of enjoyment of the cultural, his-
torical or the simple an exploration of the unique life of the local
population. Those who prefer sports which have no connection to
the sea will certainly find something to their taste at the numerous
stadiums, tennis courts, fitness centres and other places.
Exploration excursions, spectacular tours and cruises on histori-
cal sailing boats or boats constructed in the traditional local style
are a tradition in this region. Along with famous localities, these
excursions make possible the
discovery of beaches hidden or
otherwise inaccessible by land,
especially on Elafiti Islands
and Mljet. It is also possible
to organize photo-safaris on
land and in the marshlands and
swamps of the Neretva Delta.
For those wishing to experi-
ence a hunt using something
more powerful than a camera, hunting grounds for feathered
game on Peljeac are open. And while some enjoy an active
holiday, other visitors appreciate this region as an ideal place
for more serious work. Congresses, conferences and scientific
groups, with their technical demands, with either small or large
numbers of participants, are able to combine their work with the
exceptional creative ambiance and the possibilities of active lei-
sure time. Dubrovnik has been chosen as the preferred site by
many university professors and students from all over the world.
The chief scientific institution with the most prolific activity is
the International University
Centre (IUC) Dubrovnik.
Numerous congress halls ma-
ke possible the organizing
of both small and more de-
manding and important sci-
entific conferences.
