"The form of the town of Korčula is primarily determined by the form of
the little peninsula protruding into Channel of PeljeSac, (large about l
nlm), on the northern side of the island of Korčula, (superficies about
272 km2). The strategic position favoured, and the
natural setting enabled its complete encirclement with walls, which
correspond with the line of the sea shore. They enclose the ellipse,
(310x175 m), of the domical hill with the large cathedral and high
belfry rising on the top. The surrounding architecture covers the entire
perimeter of the peninsula, and its only connection with the main
island is cut off by an artificial trench." -http://whc.unesco.org
Thank you so much Dragan for this surprise postcard!
Am quite embarrassed to show you this because I got this damaged last December...
But this is so much appreciated and will be treasured!
