Korčula
Notable Building
A couple of blocks east of the main square is the place where legendary 13th-century explorer Marco Polo is said to have been born while Korčula was part of the Venetian Empire. The house itself is nearly in ruins but the tower next door is open, offering great views over the Old Town. At the time of writing, the finishing touches were being put on a new museum celebrating the explorer's life.
