Mills and fulling mills of Konavle region are located in the protected natural landscape of river Ljuta. The Dubrovnik Republic started to intensify the development of agriculture, especially grain cultivation for an increasing number of its population after the consolidation of power in Konavle region in the second half of the 15th century. Due to this the number of mills increased. Finally, by the 19th century it reached the total of 15 mills and fulling mills. Mills and fulling mills can be roughly divided into Upper and Lower Mills, depending on which side of the river they are situated. Thanks to the work of the Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities, this important industrial monument has been renovated.
