Polače, Harbor settlement on Mljet Island, Croatia
Polače stretches along a protected bay with forested hills surrounding the waterfront, providing natural shelter for boats and marine vessels.
The Roman Palace from the 3rd century stands near the harbor, featuring thick stone walls and architectural elements from the classical period.
Local fishermen maintain traditional methods of catching and preparing Mediterranean fish, contributing to the preservation of maritime heritage.
Ferries connect Polače to Dubrovnik, Korčula, and the Pelješac peninsula, with additional water taxi services available during summer months.
The settlement contains four early Christian church ruins adjacent to the Roman Palace, revealing layers of architectural development through centuries.
