Cara

This typical old village of vine growers with about 700 inhabitants lies on the main island road, 25 km from Korcula. It was built on the southern slope of a hill covered with vine yards. A special species of grapes called Posip are grown here. The village has a wine cellar where a widely known wine of that name is made.

In the village centre stands St. Peter's parish church from the 15th century, reconstructed many times. Its bell tower was completed in the 1920s. The main altar features the painting “Jesus revealing Himself to the Apostles” by the outstanding Venetian Renaissance artist Jacopo Bassano from the end of the 16th century. A big cypress tree several centuries old grows on the small paved square in front of the church. Like in other island settlements, Korcula landowners and patricians built fortified summer houses here and in the nearby bay of Zavalatica.

In the polje in the midst of vine yards is the old and new graveyard with the votive church of Our Lady of Cara Field (Gospa od čarskog polja) from the 14th century, which got its present appearance in the Baroque period. On its altar is a predella with reliefs from the life of the Virgin. According to tradition, the sea washed these late-Gothic alabaster (once coloured) reliefs of English origin from a 15th-century Nottingam workshop, into the nearby Cavlica luka bay.

The church is the main pilgrimage centre of the island of Korcula. On St James's day, 25 July, there is great ceremony with a procession around the Cara field carrying the figure of the Virgin from the altar, followed by many islanders. The villagers are farmers and also work in the tourism business.
