St. Mark's Cathedral
Katedrala svetog Marka
A Gothic-Renaissance cathedral on the highest point of the old town. Its bell tower offers views over the red-roofed town and the Pelješac Channel.
The cathedral was built in the 15th century by local stonemasons using Korčula limestone. Its main portal is finely carved, and the altarpiece includes a painting, "St. Mark and Saints," by Tintoretto. The bell tower can be climbed for a fee, and from the top you can see the full 360-degree panorama of the old town and Mount St. Elijah across the water in Orebić. Next to the cathedral, the monastery treasury displays religious art. The cathedral and the bell tower charge separately. In summer, it stays open until evening, and modest dress is required.
Opening hours
Summer about 09:00–19:00; shorter hours in winter
