History There are several theories about the island’s name, from claims of pre-Slavic origins, to the suggestion that Šipan is derived from the Greek word “gypana”, meaning “falcon’s nest”. In any case, the island’s modern name was first documented as early as 1371. In the Port of Šipan, the remains of a Roman villae rusticae can be found, but most of the traces of earlier life and historic architectural monuments there date from the Medieval Era. Šipan has 34 churches, six of which are pre-Romanesque, a late-Gothic Rector's Palace and the ruins of archbishop's palaces that were built for the Bishop of Dubrovnik - the famous Italian writer, poet and theologian from the mid-16th century Lodovico Beccadelli. Among its ruins can be seen the remains of a stone frieze of portraits, one of which is the work of Michelangelo. St. Marija’s church in Pakljena, built in the 13th century, was a well known Templars’ shelter, a monastic order that disappeared during the 14th century. The Templars there were directly involved with Rene Renato d’ Angio, who was banished in order to prevent him from becoming a king. In the village of Renatovo are the ruins of a small castle, believed to be Rene’s residence during the 15th century, where an emblem with an inscription Renatus rex justus was found. Šipan is home to many beautiful 16th Century villas built by Dubrovnik’s nobility, which were meticulously designed in such a way as to be integrated with the surrounding landscape, as well as grand stone buildings built by wealthy merchants and sailors who were originally from the island. The Sorkočević family, quite well known in their time, built a summer residence in Šipan’s main port during the 15th century which remains to this day. The building of the Skočibuha family castle, which still dominates the town of Suđurađ, began in February 1563 and ended in December of the same year. The castle interior has a large square Renaissance fireplace with a nicely preserved plaster-decorated hood (which was an exception in the Dubrovnik area), an elegant Renaissance stone sink with reliefs decorating its edges and a rare example of the only preserved wooden balcony in the Mediterranean dating from the 16th century. On a lighter note, Šipan is included in the Guiness book of records as the island with the greatest ratio of olive trees to human inhabitants considering its total surface area.

Povijest Postoji nekoliko teorija o nastanku imena otoka, od tvrdnji o pred-slavenskim izvorima i mišljenja da je Šipan izveden iz grčke riječi „gypana”, što znači „sokolovo gnijezdo”. U svakom slučaju, današnje ime otoka prvi put je zabilježeno još 1371. godine. U Šipanskoj Luci nalaze se ostaci rimske villae rusticae, ali većina tragova ranijeg života i povijesnih arhitektonskih spomenika datiraju iz srednjeg vijeka. Šipan ima 34 crkve, od kojih je šest predromaničkih, kasnogotički Knežev dvor i ruševine nadbiskupske palače koja je izgrađena za dubrovačkog biskupa - poznatog talijanskog pisca, pjesnika i teologa iz sredine 16. stoljeća Lodovica Beccadellija. Među njegovim ruševinama može se vidjeti ostatke kamenog friza portreta, od kojih je jedan Michelangelovo djelo. Crkva Sv. Marije u Pakljenoj, sagrađena u 13. stoljeću, bila je dobro poznato sklonište templara, monaškog reda koji je nestao tijekom 14. stoljeća. Tamošnji templari su bili izravno povezani s Reneom Renatom d 'Angiom, koji je protjeran kako bi ga se spriječilo da postane kralj. U selu Renatovo su ruševine malog dvorca, za koji se vjeruje da je bio Reneova rezidencija tijekom 15. stoljeća, a u njemu je pronađen i grb s natpisom Renatus rex justus. Šipan je pun prekrasnih vila iz 16. stoljeća koje je izgradilo dubrovačko plemstvo pritom pazeći da se fino uklope s okolnim krajolikom. Bogati otočki trgovci i pomorci, po povratku na otok, gradili su svoje velike kamene kuće, a svojedobno poznata dubrovačka obitelj Sorkočević izgradila je ljetnu rezidenciju u Šipanskoj Luci u 15. stoljeću. Izgradnja obiteljskog dvorca Skočibuha, koji još uvijek dominira gradom Suđurđem, započela je u veljači 1563., a završila u prosincu iste godine. U unutrašnjosti dvorca nalazi se renesansni pravokutni kamin s očuvanom štuko-dekoracijom nape (što je izuzetak na dubrovačkom području), elegantni renesansni kameni umivaonik s reljefno ukrašenim rubovima i rijedak primjer jedinog očuvanog drvenog balkona na Mediteranu, koji datira iz 16. stoljeća. Šipan je još zanimljiv po tome što je uvršten u Guinnessovu knjigu rekorda zbog svog omjera broja stabala maslina i stanovnika s obzirom na njegovu ukupnu površinu.
