Scenes from Korčula - Fishbone

The town of Korčula is unusual, because its pattern of intersecting streets resembles a fishbone. It is a medieval model for building settlements, suited to the hot summers and geomorphological characteristics of the soil. The city is divided into two parts; the diving line is a central street that widens into a town square that, in turn, sits in front of a cathedral. Only 8 towers remain, from 12 former ones. The town's historic centre is a protected heritage site.
