And along the coast often with beautiful renaissance gardens? The island of šipan housed more than 40 noble residences dating from the 16th century. Built during the golden ages of the ragusa republic, they had a specific design with beautiful gardens creating a perfect harmony between humans and nature. In a later stage were built the remarkable private villas and gardens of tome and vice stjepović skočibuha in suđurađ. The arboretum of trsteno was established near the end of the fifteenth century as a park and summer residence of the patrician family gučetić-gozze. Sailors and captains were asked to bring seeds from all over the world. With a lot of love and caring, they helped creating the gardens that we can admire today.
