In the 19th century the inhabitants of Dubrovnik built the Gucetic citadel and the first church of St. Stephen on the graveyard (reconstructed at the end of the 19th century). The three-nave church of Our Lady of Loret (1681) is the most monumental Baroque structure of the Dubrovnik region outside the very city of Dubrovnik. The church features marble altars made in the workshop of the Brutapella family, as well as paintings by Celestin Medovic. A Franciscan monastery was built next to it in 1705. The birth-house of Celestin Medovic houses a collection of his paintings. In the village is also a monument to this great painter, a work by Frano Krsinic.
