Pathway Čilipi – Cavtat
This easy path will take you through Konavle coast. The path starts by St. George church that, according to its architectural elements goes back to the 15th century, although the continuity of its sacred site has been confirmed since ancient times by its carved ancient inscription built into the church as a spolium. On the way to Močići you will run into a certain number of stone crosses which have been the stations in the course of the religious processional ceremonies held on the occasion of the blessing of the crops. Each one has a carved inscribed monogram of Jesus Christ and a relief of St. Anthony with the child. The oldest one dates in 1762. As well, in Močići you can see one of the most beautiful Mithraeum in Dalmatia. A Mithraeum is a shrine dedicated to the ancient Persian God Mithras whose cult was widespread in this region from the 2nd until the 4th century A.D. In this one, the relief of Mithras killing the bull and facing east is carved in live rock, and on the rock opposite you can still just make out the remains of a relief of Silvanus, an Illyrian deity. Čilipi is known for its Sunday folklore performances, held on the main square in front of St. Nicholas church every Sunday since 1967, from Palm Sunday to the end of October. In this village you can learn all about traditional values of Konavle, reflected through the traditions and beautiful Konavle folk costume, distinctive for its elegance and silk embroidery.
