Hvar and Stari Grad are the two most important harbor cities on the island. The city of Hvar became a major naval base during medieval times, within the Venetian Empire. Prosperity brought culture and the arts. That is why, visiting churches on the island, you can discover many important paintings and artworks by famous Venetian artists, including Tintoretto, Veronese, and Bellini.

On the other hand, Stari Grad is one of the oldest towns in Europe thanks to the ancient Greeks. They founded the colony of Pharos in 384 BC. Moreover, the Greeks are also responsible for setting out the agricultural field divisions of the Stari Grad Plain, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
