Today the Depolo family remains the oldest Korčulan families.
Above the entrance of the Land Gate, there are two symbols marking Korčula's history: a bas-relief with the winged lion of St. Mark, symbolizing the reign of the Venetian Republic and a stone tablet commemorating the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of the first Croatian king, Tomislav.

It obliges settlers to absolute loyalty and includes a list of 180 names of immigrant families. This inscription, found in Lumbarda, is the oldest written document in Croatia and is housed in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb.
