Lastovo, Island in Dalmatia, Croatia.

The Lastovo archipelago spans 53 square kilometers and contains 46 islands with steep terrain reaching 415 meters above sea level.

Romans named this territory Augusta Insula, which later came under Venetian control and remained part of the Republic of Ragusa during medieval times.

The February carnival celebration called Poklad represents the island's victory over pirates through traditional dances, music, and costumes.

Regular ferry services connect the island to Split and Korcula, with increased frequency during summer months from April through October.

The island features specific architectural elements including Renaissance stone houses with ornamental chimneys called fumari distinguishing local buildings.
