Walk through Cavtat old town , a small Dalmatian coastal town just 18 km south of Dubrovnik, where two thousand years of history survive in stone, canvas and silence. Set on the wooded Rat peninsula , Cavtat was once the Roman city of Epidaurum . Later it lived under the Republic of Dubrovnik , and later still it became the birthplace of Vlaho Bukovac , Croatia's most celebrated painter. This walk connects all of it: ancient walls, a Rector's Palace, a small art gallery, a mausoleum that won the Grand Prix in Paris, a Franciscan monastery, and the house where a boy who sailed to New York came home and put paint on the walls. Unhurried, sensory, and full of genuine stories. The antidote to crowded Dubrovnik, nine chapters away.
