Cara - Island of Korcula - Croatia

Cara
 
Cara, one of the oldest settlements on the island, is characterized by a nice location near the Cara field. The most famous product is the well-known white wine, Posip, one of the first protected sorts in Croatia. Well-known is also olive oil from Cara.

The church of Our Lady of the Cara Field is visited by pilgrims on the Day of St. James, patron of Cara (25th of July) and on the Nativity of Mary (8th of September). The famous Kumpanija is always performed on St. James' Day (see Blato). The tradition of Dalmatian folk songs has also been cherished.

South of Cara is Zavalatica, the former port for wine exports, today a tourist resort. Both Zavalatica and the nearby cove of Zitna offer numerous small boarding houses, villas and apartments (renting).

CARA, a village in the central part of the island of Korcula, 4 km east of Smokvica, at the foot of the hill called Koncar; elevation 126 m. It is one of the oldest settlements (Kzarra) on the island (14th c.). Economy is based on farming, viticulture, olive growing and livestock breeding. Cara is located on the regional road running throughout the island.

The church of St. Mary in the Field dates back to the first half of the 14th century (restored in 1377, at the end of the 16th c. and in 1680), featuring a broad nave and a large semicircular apse. On the main altar, put together in the 18th century, are seven Gothic alabaster reliefs from England (14th-15th c.). The parish church of St. Peter was first mentioned in the 15th century; a three-nave structure in the beginning, it was reconstructed in the 18th century, when a bell tower was added to it. Apart from a golden chalice in Gothic style, the church also keeps an altarpiece by Leandro Bassano. A 1770 loggia stood next to the church, however it was pulled down. The Baroque Spanic citadel from 1674 has been completely disfigured and deformed.
