The Ston Saltworks are the oldest active saltworks in Europe, where sea salt has been produced using traditional methods for more than 700 years. Together with the Ston Channel and the fertile Ston Field, they form a unique cultural landscape shaped by the interaction of nature and human activity.
The historic centres of Ston and Mali Ston preserve a rich cultural heritage dating back to the medieval period. Key landmarks include the Veliki Kaštio Fortress, the Rector's Palace, St. Blaise Church, and the well-preserved urban layout that reflects the historical importance of the area within the Republic of Dubrovnik.
The Ston Walls are among the longest preserved fortification systems in Europe, built in the 14th and 15th centuries to protect the saltworks and the Pelješac Peninsula. Visitors can walk along the restored walls between Ston and Mali Ston, enjoy panoramic views from Podzvizd Hill, and explore a section of Napoleon's Road leading to St. Michael's Church.
Numerous small islets scattered throughout Mali Ston Bay contribute to the area's exceptional landscape and ecological diversity. They provide important habitats for marine and coastal species while enhancing the scenic value of the bay.
Traditional wooden shellfish farming structures represent the long-standing mariculture heritage of Mali Ston Bay. These wooden platforms and supports illustrate centuries-old oyster and mussel farming practices that continue to shape the identity and economy of the region.
The coastal settlements of Sreser, Drače, and Sutvid are closely connected to the maritime traditions of the Pelješac Peninsula. Surrounded by clear waters, shellfish farms, and Mediterranean landscapes, they offer insight into the region's natural beauty, cultural heritage, and sustainable way of life.
