The paper talks about the historical continuity of one place, using the example of the hillfort Grad in Nakovana on Pelješac. The very appearance of the city and the basic prerequ-isites for establishing a settlement, namely a source of water and the possibility of easy de-fence of the place, led to the fact that it was inhabited very early. Already at the end of the Neolithic period, people began to visit this hillfort, and shortly after that they founded a settlement. Through archaeological finds such as the remains of flint products, ceramic ves-sels, and metal objects such as fibulae, money and military equipment, the past can be recons-tructed, and thus historical continuity. According to current knowledge, Grad was inhabited intermittently from the end of the Neolithic to the Roman period, and was abandoned for se-veral hundred years after Octavian's military campaign 35 BC. Life in the town was restored for a short time at the end of the 3rd and 4th centuries, and again after a big time gap at the end of the 11th century. After that, during the rule of the Republic of Dubrovnik, the town served as a refuge for the inhabitants of Nakovana from pirates and other bandits. In recent times, Grad has become an arable land and a place for grazing, and in the last decades it has become a tourist and sports destination.
