Precisely these beautiful walls offer magnificient views of pools in Ston’s saltwork, where salt is traditionally produced even today. Old customs, such as washing fabrics and children’s plays, are replaced by continuous play of the cadres and shadows in order to authentically evoke the blend of history and contemporaneity.

In the tourist movie “We live it. You will love it! Visit Ston” visitors and everybody else who wants to experience this wonderful Croatian place, get to know its five main attractions: salt, city walls, oysters, wine and olive trees.

Delicious food, unique wine, oysters, salt fields, sound of ljerica and reflection of the sunlight… will surely attract everybody to visit this historic place.
