The Stari Grad Plain is a cultural landscape on the island of Hvar in the Adriatic Sea . The landscape shows a coherent system of land use and agricultural colonization by the Greeks in the 4th century BC. In 2008 the plain was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List .
history
The cultural landscape has remained practically intact since the first colonization by Ionian Greeks from Pharos in the 4th century BC. The original agricultural activity, which is focused on the cultivation of grapes and olives , has been maintained for over 2400 years until today. There are still ancient stone walls and small stone houses called trims . These testify to the geometric system according to which the Greeks divided the country. This system also included channels and cisterns for collecting rainwater. The old town of Stari Grad is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site .
