Throughout its long history, all the way since antiquity until the very present day, life in Podgora went on with the sea and for the sea, without ever questioning the unigque harmony resulting from its inherent differences: from the beautiful mountain still keeping the secrets of ancient hamlets, through terraced vineyards, olive-groves and pastures that have been a pledge of Podgora¨s culture and well-being for centuries, all the way to the high seas attracting generations of its inhabitants, famous seamen and fishermen.The challenge of the sea has left a strong mark on the temperament of Podgora s people, as well as become incorporated into its architecture.Throughout its long history, all the way since antiquity until the very present day, life in Podgora went on with the sea and for the sea, without ever questioning the unigque harmony resulting from its inherent | ||
