The Zuvela’s arrived on the west end of Korcula in the 1600’s and settled in a small field called '''Rasohatica'''. There are still small remnants of stone huts there to this day. At the time, Korcula was part of the ''Republic of Venice'' (within the Dalmatian province). From where the original Zuvelas migrated is still a mystery to this editor. The Republic of Venice did accept migrants within her boundaries during her long history. They came from all parts of [[Europe]]. Many of them were migrants from Spain as well as Christians from the Ottoman Empire (which ruled the Balkans for centuries). | The Zuvela’s arrived on the west end of Korcula in the 1600’s and settled in a small field called '''Rasohatica'''.
