🎧 Listen to Introduction

The Stari Grad Plain on the Adriatic island of Hvar is a cultural landscape that has remained almost unchanged since the first colonization by the Ionian Greeks from Paros in the 4th century BC. The original agricultural activity on this fertile plain was focused on grapes and olives, which has been maintained since Greek times. The site is also a nature reserve. The landscape features ancient stone walls and stone ornaments or small stone houses and bears witness to the ancient geometric system of land division used by the ancient Greeks, the Chora, which has remained almost intact for 24 centuries.
