Great walk and around city with fantastic views, be aware that when cruise boats are in it can be very busy, take plenty of water and wear sensible shoes

Entrance here is included in your ticket if you have walked the city walls. It's a little bit of a trek to get here from the main city, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues, but it's well worth it. You pass stunning scenery on the way (and stuff you'll recognise if you're a Game of Thrones fan), and the fort itself is fascinating and provides amazing views back towards the city and over the bay/sea. Definitely worth checking out.

Korcula is a beautiful island in the Adriatic sea. It has an area of 279 km2 ;46.8 km long and 7.8 km wide. It lies just off the Dalmatian coast. It’s population is only about 15,522 people. Korcula is said to have been the birth place of the famous explorer Marco Polo and his home is still viewable there. ( Others say he was born in Venice) The Island has been known for several famous scholars, lawyers, bishops and has many historical buildings. Korčula is linked to the mainland by a regular ferry service that runs between Dominče, just outside Korčula Town and Orebić. It is a very quick 15 minute ferry ride from Orebic. There are numerous local ferry services including one linking Vela Luka and Lastovo.The main Croatian ferry operator Jadrolinija runs a service linking Korčula Town with Rijeka, Split, Hvar, Mljet, Dubrovnik . Korcula is a beautiful, stone walled town with the Bishop’s palace with theBishop’s artwork collection, a gorgeous old church with glass works, and the town museum has the remains of the old stonemasonry workshops. There are some cute gift shops, local liquor stores and beautiful restaurants with a few Michelin star restaurants. Once in Korcula it is very easy to walk most of the island, we had a guided tour as we wanted to know about the history of the island, and it’s place in the Ventian empire, the house of Marco Polo. It is a great way to spend a day. If you do not want to be rushed it is best to take a private tour car.

We visited here after finding out our ticket for the walls could also be used here. I believe it is about 80 of their local currency if you want to do this separately. It’s a lovely walk up, if a little steep but a great view on a lovely day. Only takes 20 mins or so to get up and down so would highly recommend if you have a ticket for the walls as you see the Old Town from a different view.

Korkula's city walls are impressive, surrounding the old city, particularly if you approach from the sea. Korcula is one of Coatia‘s finest surviving fortified medieval towns. Defenses were started in the 13th century to protect its citizens from land and sea attacks. Threats diminished in the 18th century, so parts of the wall were dismantled, and Korcula expanded beyond the walls. By the early 19th century large proportion of the walls were neglected and parts demolished, mainly the upper part of eastern walls (Zakerjan area) as well as part of the western walls (Riva- Korcula port area). Walking the walls gave me a feeling for medieval defense: thick stone curtain walls with twelve towers, battlements with arrow slits, and city gates with inner and outer doors. There are two main gates; the south gate (called the Land Gate, Kopnena Vrata) has the Venetian lion insignia above the door, signifying an alliance with this strong trading partner in the north Adraitic. A vaulted passage leads though the Revelin Tower (built from 1493 to 1496) and to the main town square by St. Mark's Cathedral. The west side entrance is called Sea Gate (Morska Vrata). It ascends a Baroque stairway from the harbor along the open loggia (built in 1584) into the town. Defensive towers which have survived include - Zakerjan Tower: a hemispherical tower on the north side - Kanavelic Tower: a hemispherical tower on the north west side - Sea Gate Tower: a square tower near the Sea Gate - Small Governor’s Tower: a cylindrical tower on the southwest side - Large Governor’s Tower: a truncated cone on the southwest side - Revelin Tower: a square tower over the land gate - All Saints Tower: a truncated tower on the southeast side Circling the walls from the outside is about 700m. The towers and parts of the wall are lighted at night, which adds a romantic touch to an evening in Korcula. The walls are always open, and there is no entrance fee, although there are some business establishments in the some of the towers.

This wide Baroque staircase sweeps elegantly down to the promenade but the actual gate through the wall is quite unprepossessing; I guess small & narrow made it easy to patrol & defend. There doesn't seem to be any Trippie post for the quayside so I have adopted Kula Morska Vrata as the closest. Arriving by boat, the township is presented like a cake tin, with impressive decorations of towers, bell tower, ancient town buildings, beach sections & little boats & city gates to intrigue you before you even set foot on the island. Go through one of the portals for a magical experience where ever you turn.
