Cavtat is a town that lives for tourism, therefore families as well as young people will find something for themselves here.

In ancient times, Cavtat was known as Epidaurum, while the current name of Cavtat comes from 'Civitas Vetus'. In 614 the Slavs penetrated into Cavtat, forcing the majority to move to Dubrovnik. In the 15th century, Dubrovnik purchased the town of Cavtat from Duke Pavlovic and Cavtat became the second center and had an important role in the social life of the Republic.

The greater part of the historical - cultural monuments belong to the simple but beautiful architecture of the post-René period, with gothic traces: the Princes Palace, the fortresses, the town-walls built around the city, the public squares, the church of Saint Nicholas, the church of the Maid of Cavtat and the Franciscan convent.
Cavtat - Racic Family Mausoleum
The old town of Cavtat, in the very centre of the South Adriatic, is situated at the south slopes of the peninsula of Rat, in the immediate vicinity of Dubrovnik, 20 km to the southeast from it.Today Cavtat is the tourist and cultural centre of Konavle, the southernmost region of Croatia. This is the town of beautiful beaches and luxury hotels together with a traditional way of life and preserved customs.

The Racic Family Mausoleum is on top of a steep, wooded hill at the very tip of the peninsula on which the town rests. Unexpectedly - especially for people arriving from the comparative bustle of the quayside - the whole of this end of the peninsula is given over to semi-wild parkland, heavily scented with herbs and flowers. In just minutes you've stepped from an artificial forest of yacht masts into a living Arcadia.
This octagonal white dome with huge bronze doors decorated with gargoyles of dogs, eagles and winged lambs, was built high above Cavtat in the early 1920s by the Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.

What to see?
The birth house of Vlaho Bukovac
The birth house of one of the most famous Croatian painters was proclaimed a cultural monument in 1969. The architecture, the fact that it is located in the very heart of Cavtat as well as the artistic legacy of the painter, make this house a true cultural pearl. The appearance of the house is not much different than the rest of the houses built in Cavtat towards the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, even though the painter himself made a few touch-ups.

The Racic Family Mausoleum
Visiting the mausoleum of the Racic family, a well-known shipowners, you will witness the symbolism which represents the lifetime of humans: birth, life and death. The entire mausoleum is built using white stone from the island of Brac. The mausoleum is located in a beautifull area near the sea between the cypress trees, and was designed by the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.

Knezev dvor -The Collection of Baltazar Bogisic

Today the Collection contains more than 35,000 objects. The numismatic collection particularly stands out with 2,700 objects. There is also an important library dating back to that period.
Bogisic's collection is located at Knezev dvor (Rector's Palace), an interesting monument of Renaissance architecture from the time of the Dubrovnik Republic.

Franciscan Monastery
The church and monastery are at the north end of Cavtat harbor at the bottom of the hill on which Ivan Mestrovic's Racic Mausoleum stands. The monastery recently was converted to an 8-room bed-and-breakfast, and guests can explore the adjoining church at their leisure. Look for the church's medieval altarpieces and the remains of what may be an ancient Roman amphitheater nearby. Inside, you'll find a 16th-century triptych by artist Vicko Lovrin.
