Jakasova špilja (Jakas's Cave) is located in the eastern part of the island of Korčula, a few kilometers south of the Žrnovo hamlet of Postrana, in Dubrovnik-Neretva County. It is of interest to speleologists and lovers of prehistory because it was inhabited for millennia, from 4500 to 1500 BC.
The cave is a hundred or so meters above the sea, near the top of the slope above Rasohatica bay. It is 94 m long and consists of an entrance section and two large halls. The archaeological layers lie right behind the entrance and are about a meter thick. Research shows that it was inhabited from the Middle Neolithic to the Bronze Age. From roughly the middle of the Bronze Age until 1916 it was completely closed off because of erosion.
A protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-6614.
