As we climb towards the mausoleum, details about the life of its builder and the greatest Croatian sculptor, Ivan Mestrovic, will be revealed with all of the intriguing and tragic circumstances that led to construction of this masterpiece of sculpture and architecture.

Itinerary
Cavtat Cemetery
The St. Roch cemetery is the highest point of the Rat peninsula with a beautiful view of Cavtat, and it hides numerous interesting stories. It is the final resting place of many prominent Cavtat citizens and the location of the Račić family mausoleum, a work of the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović.
30 minutes
Cavtat Old Town
Did you know that two great Croatian artists turned the small town of Cavtat into an important creative hub on the national cultural scene? One was a distinctive painter with over a 1000 works to his name, the other a sculptor whose architectural masterpiece is an astonishing testimony of love and death.
Cavtat has an exceptionally long and interesting history. On this guided tour you will travel 2000 years back in time to when Cavtat was the Roman colony of Epidaurum. You will learn about its demise and why very few traces remain. You'll delve into stories of shipwrecks in front of Cavtat port and hear many more fascinating titbits about its history and present.

N/A
We take a walk around the Rat Peninsula for several reasons: firstly, it is a wonderful promenade by the sea that is mostly in the shade, and it is here that you will be able to see most clearly the significance of seafaring for Cavtat as well as its centuries-old connection with Dubrovnik. Also, on the other side, there is the easiest access to the mausoleum, to which we will climb on a leisurely walk.
