Dubrovnik and Dalmacija travel guide

Bishop’s Palace
To the south of the
cathedral stands the
Bishop’s Palace, with a
statue of Mary, Queen
of Scots. Artworks,
including the cathedral
treasury, are displayed
here. The highlights of
the collection are
paintings by Bassano
and Carpaccio (right).
Art Shops/Arneri
Palace
Korula Town overflows
with small art shops that
sell everything from
standard depictions of
the local skyline right
through to more esoteric
works of modern art.
The art shop housed
within the Arneri Palace,
on the same square as
the cathedral, is a good
place to start.
Churches
Korula Town may be
small, but it manages to
cram in a wealth of
churches. Look out for
the All Saint’s Church
(left), St Michael’s and
the Church of our Lady,
which all stand within
the old town walls.
Beaches
East of the town lie
a series of small beaches
that make pleasant spots
to swim on hot days. A
short bus-ride (or in
season, boat-ride) away
are better beaches at
Lumbarda (above).
Town Museum
In the main square
opposite the cathedral is
a small civic museum,
housed in the striking
16th-century Gabriellis
Palace. Among a number
of interesting exhibits
here is a copy of a 4thcentury
Greek tablet.
Marco Polo House
Allegedly the great
explorer’s birthplace, this
house is currently being
restored and developed
as a museum devoted to
his life. The attached tower
offers fine views of the
rooftops of Korula Town.
Moreka
Korula is the only
Dalmatian island where
real swords are still used
for dancing the More
