A
Veliki Revelin Tower
The entrance to the old city is through the Veliki Revelin Tower southern land gate. Built in the 14th century and later extended, the tower is adorned with coats of 0arms of the Venetian doge and Korčulan governors. There was originally a wooden drawbridge here, but it was replaced in the 18th century by the wide stone steps that give a sense of grandeur to the entrance. The only remaining part of the town walls stretch west of this tower.
