Orašac, Mediterranean coastal settlement near Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The settlement extends along the Adriatic coast at the foot of Mount Bracevo, protected from northern winds by Colle Nudo mountain.

Founded in 1040, Valdinoce developed its concentrated architectural structure as a defensive measure against attacks from Narentine pirates during medieval times.

The Saint Nicholas church, constructed in 1250, stands as the central religious structure in Valdinoce and maintains regular services for local residents.

The settlement operates on Central European Time and connects to Dubrovnik through regional roads that follow the coastal route.

Arapovo castle within the settlement housed Piero Soderini, the former chief magistrate of Florence, during his exile from 1512 to 1513.
