History
The Ston Walls were expanded by the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) in the 14th century to protect valuable salt pans and maritime trade; Dubrovnik itself thrived as an independent maritime republic.
Conservation
Salt pans and oyster beds are sensitive coastal ecosystems—respect signage, avoid trampling habitats, and prefer local producers who follow sustainable harvesting practices.
