Within the city there is the St Mark’s Cathedral and Abbey Treasury of St Mark, and several gothic, renaissance and baroque palaces. Visitors can watch the Moreška Sword Dance during summer, which is a traditional Korculan dance telling the story of a white king fighting for a kidnapped princess.

Beaches:

Nature:
