Vela Spila - Vela Luka

Vela spila (The Big Cave) is located above the cove of Kale in Vela Luka and is one of the most important prehistoric archaeological localities in Europe. Excavations and the archaeological investigation of the site lead to the conclusion that the cave has been continuously inhabited from the early Stone Age (about 20 000 bc), and there is evidence of an occasional human presence in the following periods – Iron Age and Copper Age. To this day it has been used by the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines and many others. There is a valuable archaeological collection of objects that have been found on this site in the Culture Centre Museum in the town centre of Vela Luka, and visitors can visit the cave in two ways: By car, for there is a 2,5 km road leading from Kale cove to the cave, or on foot along a walking path on the Pinski Rat hill.

Centar Za Kulturu Vela Luka

The Cultural Centre - located in the town centre, it consists of a museum, a gallery and a library, and the wealth and diversity of Vela Luka’s history, art and cultural heritage is shown through several valuable museum collections; the archaeological collection, the gifted international collection of drawings, graphics and small sculptures and the collection of ship models carved in wood. The gifted international collection was the result of many donations from domestic and foreign artists after Vela Luka got hit by a tidal wave in the summer of 1978.Two sculptures by Henry Moore dominate the collection, which are also the only two works of that respectable artist in the Croatian territory. The wooden model ships, forty one of them, were made by the late Nedjeljko Gigić Kotarc, a self-educated carver from Vela Luka who was carving them in olive wood for decades and left them as a legacy to future generations and his town. In the atrium of the Cultural Centre, and on several locations in the town centre you can see different parts of a mosaic of abstract and figural compositions made in 1968 when the first international gathering of artists took place in Vela Luka.
