Ston is a small town in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county of Croatia, located at the south of isthmus of the Pelješac (Sabioncello) peninsula. It is the center of the Ston municipality that has 2,605 inhabitants.
Ston was a military fort of the Ragusan Republic whose defensive walls are a notable feat of medieval architecture: there is a 890 meters long town wall and 5 km Great Wall outside the town.
The walls extend to Mali Ston (the little Ston), a smaller town on the northern side of the Pelješac isthmus and the end of the Gulf of Mali Ston (Malostonski zaljev), notable for its mariculture.
