Abstract

The article deals with the organization of the defense of the city and the island of Korčula during the Middle Ages. In that respect it particularly explores the system of city walls, the regimen of keeping watch, the armaments and the district galley which in the case of danger took on the role of a warship. On the basis of the collected evidence it can be concluded that Korčula organized its defense on the level of smaller municipalities, using modest means which it was able to set aside and engaging its own populace.
