This beautiful town is located on the eastern coast of the island of the same name, Korčula. It lies in the southernmost part of Croatia, in south Dalmatia, in Dubrovnik-Neretva County.
The island of Korčula has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age as archaeological finds showed, which were discovered at Vela Spila or also known as the Big Cave. Presumably, Phoenicians founded the first settlement, followed by the Greeks. They established a colony here in the 6th century BC called Knidos. Most likely it was in the area of today’s Korčula, but archaeologists still cannot identify its exact location. In the 4th century BC Issaean settlers – Greeks from the island of Vis – established a colony in what is now Lumbarda.
The Illyrians first appeared around 2000 BC. They lived in fortified settlements built on the highlands. Octavianus, the Roman emperor ended their reign. Slavic settlers are first mentioned in the 10th century. In 998 the island was under Venetian rule as Curzola. It is important to mention the Korčula Statute of 1214, which is a significant historical source since the count did not only define the duties of citizens. It covers provisions on shipbuilding, agriculture, trade and everyday life. Moreover, it mentions several other settlements on Korčula. Over the centuries, the island had been under Hungarian, Genoan, Venetian, Austrian, French and Yugoslavian rule as well. In 1991 Korčula became part of the new Croatian state.
