In Cavtat we will see the birth house of Vlaho Bukovac, one of the most famous Croatian painter. The monumental features of the Bukovac House are not only its architecture, garden space and the location in the very heart of the town, but above all, shows it to be a typical Dalmatian 19th century bourgeois house: stone-built, two- storey building with a central court-yard and a spacious back garden. Particularly interesting are the newly discovered wall paintings which cover the old walls in the eastern part of the house, made by the young Bukovac before leaving to Paris.
