The Old Town of Korčula lies on a promontory protected by a 14th-century city fortification with four defensive towers and a city wall. Unfortunately, the wall no longer stands at its full height today. In many places, the wall was demolished to a height of approximately 4 meters or less, and the stones were reused elsewhere in the Old Town. The towers also have names: - Small Prince's Tower (1449), - Large Prince's Tower (1483), - Veliki Revelin Tower (14th century) with the Land Gate, and - Tower of the Western Sea Gate (with a Latin inscription from 1592), which indicates that Korčula was founded after the fall of Troy.

There are few fortifications in Europe as well preserved as the city walls of Korčula. The city on the island of the same name was once a bone of contention between the two maritime powers, Genoa and Venice. Even later, the walls protected the inhabitants from attacks by hostile powers. That the walls have survived the conflicts of the past centuries is still clearly visible today. It's no wonder the ramparts are a tourist attraction today.

Anyone who takes a stroll around Korčula's Old Town will always have Korčula's city walls in view. A promenade runs along the outer walls around the peninsula, following the route of the former battlements of the soldiers who defended the city. Notable features include several round towers, where historic cannons, once stationed here for defense against naval enemies, can still be seen today. The path is lined with numerous restaurants and cafés, located directly on or even on the city walls, creating a very special atmosphere.
