摘要：The history and archaeological and cultural heritage of Majkovi, a settlement in the south-eastern coastal area of the present-day municipality Dubrovačko primorje (Dubrovnik littoral), is discussed by the authors in this work. The mentioned subjects are examined through the prism of Dubrovačko primorje, to which this settlement geographically belongs. From the archaeological point of view, Majkovi is an unchartered area, which has not yet been recorded on the archaeological map of marked sites from the prehistoric and ancient period. There are two mediaeval graveyards with tombstones whose fragments were mostly used as spolia in the churches of Majkovi. From the same time is the preserved inscription on the lintel from the older mediaeval church in Majkovi. The topographic map in this work provides us with an overall archaeological topography of this area, but also pinpoints possible archaeological sites on the map. In terms of the written word, particularly important for Majkovi are the still preserved statutes of the confraternity of Gornji and Donji Majkovi from 1560 and the land register of Dubrovačko primorje from 1399. The procession crucifix in St. Stephan’s Church in Gornji Majkovi is a unique example of Gothic reutilisation of an older Romanesque reliquary (13th century) into a procession crucifix in the 14th century. At the same time, it represents the oldest preserved exemplar of sacral goldsmith’s art in Dubrovačko primorje.
