ISLAND
KORCULA
 Korcula
Island undoubtedly
holds a privileged
position among Croatian
islands. Here are
perhaps even more
legends, tales and
monuments than anywhere
else. The island
has a number of
famous towns including
Korcula, Lumbarda
and Vela Luka. The
oldest written monument
in Croatia, the
"Lumbardska
psefizma",
in Greek, was found
in Lumbarda. According
to legend, Korcula
was established
by the Trojan hero
Anthenor in the
12th century BC.
Korcula is, after
Lokrum and Mljet,
the third most densely
wooded island of
Croatia. There is
much evidence of
a highly-developed
social life on Korcula
even in the 13th
century. The Statute
of Korcula, signed
in 1214, prohibited
the slave trade
for the first time
in Europe. It also
spoke about the
order and management
of the city. The
famous travel writer,
Marco Polo, was,
according to some
sources, born in
Korcula.

sovereignty and

the end of a crucial
period in the establishment
of Croatia as a
new state in the
European and world
community.
