A few facts about Ston

Ston is located at the south of isthmus of the Pelješac peninsula.

Located at the gates of the peninsula, surrounded by the Adriatic sea on three side and protected by four hills, rich in fresh water and saltwater, fertile plains, it has been an important political, cultural and ecclesiastical centre.

Ston was initially an Illyrian settlement until the Romans established their own colony there, in 167 BC.

The old Ston was located on the slopes of the hills of Gorica and St. Michael, south of the Ston field. There were several early Christian churches, the largest of which was St. Stephen's Church.

The cladding between the two towns along their entire length were made of large walls that were supposed to defend the Dubrovnik estate - Pelješac. This entire fortification complex, which is unique to Europe, was built over a short period of time.

The monumental stone fortification complex of Ston suddenly collapsed in preparation for the official visit by Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph. They were again damaged in the Homeland War (1991-1992), followed by the devastating earthquake of 1996.
