Marco Polo House
Kuća Marka Pola
A stone house with a tower, said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. You can climb the tower for sea views, making it one of the old town's most popular photo spots.
Korčula locals believe Marco Polo was born here in 1254. This tower-topped stone house is known as his birthplace. Although the claim lacks confirmation, the house has become a signature of the old town. You can climb the tower for sea views, and nearby is a Marco Polo museum with multimedia exhibits about his journey to the East. The house is open in summer and often closed in winter. Admission costs a few euros. Visit with a relaxed attitude toward its historical authenticity.
