Trpanj

Once an important harbour of Peljesac, Trpanj developed near a Roman villa (fragments of mosaics and walls on the old graveyard). Ruins of a mediaeval fortress rise on the hill above the port. The church of Our Lady of Karmen (Renaissance main altar with the coat of arms of the Gundulic family) is in the centre of the town. The new parish church was built in neo-Romanesque style; a 16-th century ornamented stone window of an older church has been preserved. A small chapel (inscription from 1695) with a wooden Baroque altar is on the edge of the village.

Trpanj disposes of a very important harbour for the island Pelješac. Sun-seeking tourists will enjoy the 2'800 yearly hours of sunshine by walking along the magnificent rocky, shingle and sandy beaches as well as by walking through the unspoiled nature.

Furthermore the environment-conscious tourist will appreciate the crystal-clear sea water and the nature which is still in an ecological balance.
