[[Image:Ston-Fort-06.jpg|thumb|260px|right|Fortifications at Ston.]]
Ston was a military [[fort]] of the [[republic of Ragusa|Ragusan Republic]] whose defensive walls are a notable feat of medieval architecture: there is an 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 [[Headlands and bays|Gulf]] of Mali Ston (''Malostonski zaljev''), notable for its [[mariculture]].
Ston is also well known for its saltworks which were highly coveted by both the [[Republic of Dubrovnik]] and the [[Ottoman Empire]].
