UNESCO World Heritage Sites on your Adriatic voyage route

The castle was founded in 972. In those days the old city of Dubrovnik was a separate island and a narrow canal separating it from the sea was filled in the 12th century. These streets have remained practically intact for more than a thousand years delighting the eye with picturesque panoramas of the Red Harbour. The Old City is also well-known to all the fans of the Game of Thrones.

The town owes its name to the Greeks. "Tragos" means a herd of goats. This was the first impression of the Dorians, an ancient greek tribe, as they discovered a small island of land in the 3rd millennium BC. Later, it became a Greek colony but a lot of rulers changed during long centuries. The historic centre is really tiny but it has kept masterpieces of architecture of different times.

The Stari Grad Plain is a unique natural landmark on the island of Hvar near the town of Stari Grad. It consists of the ancient stone walls and the so-called 'trims', small stone shelters. Apart from that, even after almost 2500 years the ancient Greek system of land division called 'chora' has remained here. Thanks to it the territory is divided into small multicolored plots of land.

The Diocese of Poreč is one of the most ancient on the Adriatic. It was founded between the 3d and 4th century. Apart from the basilica, the architectural complex consists of a sacristy, a baptistry, an Episcopal residence, and a bell tower. It is one of the most valuable examples of Byzantine art in this region. The floor mosaics inside the church represents the early Christian symbol of fish. It remained intact until the present.
