The former home of local son Vlaho Bukovac (1855–1922), one of Croatia's greatest artists, has been beautifully converted into a gallery of his life and work. The two floors feature more than 200 works of art, including self-portraits and oil paintings from the periods he spent in Paris, Zagreb, Prague, and Cavtat. There's also period furniture and personal items. The stone house itself is a lovely example of typical 18th-century architecture; the east wing is covered in murals that Bukovac painted as a gift to his father when he was 16 years old.
The peaceful St. Rocco Cemetery sits atop the highest point of the peninsula overlooking the city and surrounding area. Its centerpiece is the mausoleum, sculpted from white Brač stone by beloved Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović for the Račić family in 1921. It is octagonal in plan, and the main entrance is guarded by two art nouveau caryatids.
