The oldest town on Hvar island and one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Croatia, founded as a Greek colony called Pharos around 385 BC. Stari Grad's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the Stari Grad Plain — an ancient agricultural landscape of stone walls and field divisions unchanged since Greek times. The town has a gentle, cultured atmosphere with a Renaissance fortress, the Tvrdalj castle of the poet Petar Hektorović, narrow lanes, and a beautiful inner harbour.
