Tvrtkovi

Tvrtkovi is a geographical location and a former settlement in Croatia. It is situated in the municipality of Konavle, in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, in southern Dalmatia. Historically, Tvrtkovi was part of the Konavle region, an area known for its agricultural produce, particularly wine and olives. The name itself suggests a connection to the Tvrtko dynasty, a prominent medieval ruling family in the region, although the exact nature of this connection requires further historical research.

The area of Tvrtkovi is characterized by its Mediterranean landscape, with rolling hills and proximity to the Adriatic Sea. Like many rural settlements in the region, Tvrtkovi has experienced demographic shifts over the past century, with some residents migrating to larger towns or cities. However, the Konavle region, including the area around Tvrtkovi, has seen a resurgence in tourism, with visitors drawn to its natural beauty, historical sites, and local cuisine. The agricultural heritage of the area continues to be a significant aspect of its identity, with vineyards and olive groves still prevalent. Archaeological findings in the broader Konavle area point to a long history of human habitation, dating back to prehistoric times.
