Vela Luka (4464 inhabitants) is the biggest town on the island and is 42 km far away from the town of Korcula. Vela Luka is the oldest and the youngest settlement on the island at the same time.

On the hill spilinski rat, Northeast of the village, on about 100 m attitude above sea-level, is the Vela Spila (the big cave) - the most significant pre-historic deposit of Korcula. the rich Neolithic culture of the “Circle of Hvar” (3200 before Christ) communicated over sea with the neighbours of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. The attractive collection of discoveries is exhibited in the Homeland museum in the Palace Franulovic-Repak near the parish church.

Vela Luka developed at the beginning of the 19th century in a deep, protected bay. Beside houses there are a few hotels and the rehabilitation centre for rheumatic diseases and posttraumatical conditions “Kalos”.

The parish church of St. Joseph is a classical building finished in 1848. The stations of the Way of the Cross - 15 smaller relieves - were made by Anka Prizmic.

The chapel of St. Vicence is from 1589; it was reconstructed several times and it contains the bust sculpture of Don Ivan Oreb, a priest who did a lot for the cultural development of Vela Luka in the 20th century, and it was made by Anka Prizmic, as well.
