St. Marco Cathedral
Add 30min visit to St. Marco to tour
Cathedral of St. Mark is the center of religious life, and one of the most important and most beautiful monuments in the old town of Korčula. It was built in the 15th century on the site of a Romanesque church from the 13th century. Local masters who were known from Dubrovnik to Venice were engaged on its construction. On the wall behind the main altar is a large painting depicting St. Mark Bartholomew and Jerome, the first translator of the Bible into Latin. There is also the icon Our Lady of the 14th century, which is believed to have saved Korčula from the Turks in 1571.

This was overall one of the best experiences I’ve had in Croatia and would of been possible without Ivo, definitely the best tour guide available in the Dubrovnik.“ Read more
