There are circular dry stone buildings (Vrtujak/Rotunda/Trullo) on the island of Korčula in CROATIA which are mainly found in the west end of the island. There are around 15 of them in the region. Most were built by the Zuvela families (Vela Luka - Blato area). Locally they are called ‘Vrtujak’. The vrtujak  term in the Croatian language references the circular nature of the structure. These unique architectural field stone houses seem to have been built in the late 17th to 18th century during the Republic of Venice period and some were built even in the 19th century (Lesetov ''meaning'' built by the Lese Zuvelas).
