The plain of Starigradsko Polje is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. The motivation that has included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site is the beauty of its vineyards and olive groves remained the same from the time of the first colonization of the ancient Greeks.
The plain demonstrates the comprehensive system of agriculture as used by the ancient Greeks. The land was divided into geometrical parcels (chora) bounded by dry stone walls. The system included a rainwater recovery system involving the use of gutters and storage cisterns. The original field layout has been respected by the continuous maintenance of the boundary walls by succeeding generations.
