Cavtat


Cavtat is a town on the Adriatic Coast of Croatia, southeast of Dubrovnik. It’s known for its beaches, and the many ancient Illyrian necropolises dotted around the area.

Near the tree-lined Cavtat harbor is the Rector’s Palace, a Renaissance mansion that displays the manuscript collection of 19th-century scientist Baltazar Bogišić. Near the harbor, the baroque St. Nicholas Church displays some notable artwork.
