Sightseeings Peljesac
Roman Stagnum, today`s Ston, keeps standing up to the time. From 1333 to 1506 the people of Dubrovnik have built the fortified town which today has the second greatest walls in the world, behind the Great Wall of China. Today`s Ston represents a living image of the once powerfull Republic of Dubrovnik, and it`s magnificent architecture.
Among the many cultural and historical sites there is the Sokočević Palace and the former bishop`s palace (1573), the Duke`s Palace which was reconstructed in the XIX century, the Franciscan monastery and the Romanesque-Gothic Church of St. Nicholas dating back to 1347, and many others.
The salt works used to be and still are most important for Ston. The town is located on the north-west of the Ston Channel, on the regional road connecting the main road with Pelješac, 59 km from Dubrovnik.
