  4. Our first stop: Bay of Mali Ston It is the oldest knownmusselfarm in the Mediterranean sea and the most important place for the cultivation of shellfish in Croatia.

  5. Visiting the shellfish farm The kind workers of the seashell company took us all on a special boat, to see the boxes with fish and the ropes with seashells. The mixture of fresh water from the Neretva river, and many underground water springs make this an ideal place for the growth of sea shells.

  6. We saw a golden bass and an albino sea bass, which are grown on the farm.

  7. The oysters are cleaned on the boat and transported to the warehouse for packing and transport.

That precaution made Dubrovnik known as a safe market centre,and helped the trade.

  17. Široka Široka street is wider than other streets in the old city because it used to be the path to the granary. The granary(a place for storing and distribution of the grain) was important, and people needed quickaccess to it. In the medieval times, the supply of grain was as important as the supply of weapons for the siege or for the scarce years.
