| Konavle is Croatia's southernmost region, shaped by the hills bordering with Bosnia and Herzegovina in the north/north-east, and by the steep cliffs, coves and capes extending from Prevlaka and Molunat in the far south to Cavtat, its center.
The area is renowned for its characteristic and original stone architecture and, above all, for its rich cultural tradition in handicrafts. The pros-perity of this fertile farming area, a bountiful oasis of progress, was highly enhanced by its centuries long association with the Dubrovnik Republic. |
