Presentation

Lastovo is the small capital of the island of Lastovo, already inhabited by Illyriens, is also one of the most charming villages of the islands, with its stone-built houses staged around a broad amphitheater.

Between the palm trees, one sees pointing the enormous cylindrical chimneys of the kitchens, which are the mark of Lastovo.

To see: the church Rebirth Saint-Like-and-St-Damien (15th-16th century), his charming small place and the Romance chapel Our-Lady-of-Rock, downwards. On the heights, the fortress of Glavica (kaštel), a Napoleonean building of 1808, replaced a castle dating from the republic of Dubrovnik. The panorama is sumptuous there.
