• Ston City Walls - Ston, once an integral part of the Dubrovnik Republic, is renowned for its 5.5 km-long defensive walls, often referred to as the “European Wall of China.” Constructed in the 14th century, these walls safeguarded one of Europe’s oldest active saltworks, which still produces salt using traditional techniques.

• Ston Salt Works - The salt production at the Ston saltworks has a rich history dating back to ancient times. These salt pans, established in the 14th century, have maintained their traditional methods through generations. The process begins by channeling seawater into a series of shallow basins, allowing natural elements—sun and wind—to gradually evaporate the water, leaving behind crystallized salt.

Ston’s strategic location, surrounded by a network of canals and channels, made it an ideal site for salt production. Salt was a valuable commodity in the past, essential for food preservation and considered a strategic resource for trade and wealth.

This artisanal method, passed down through centuries, contributes to the distinct taste and quality of Ston’s salt. The saltworks continue to honor these traditional techniques, offering a unique experience that intertwines history, culture, and craftsmanship. Ston’s salt remains a prized product, sought after for its purity and authentic production process.
