Nakovanj
Nakovanj ili Nakovana (starosjedilačko ime), malo je naselje na poluotoku Pelješac u općini Orebić, Dubrovačko-neretvanska županija.Naziv sela Nakovane starog je i nepoznatog porijekla. Prvi se put spominje 1335. godine kao Nacovalda, potom 1357. kao Nacoualna te 1372. kao Nachovalna.Prema jednoj legendi, u ovom dijelu Pelješca su živjela tri brata kovača. Jednog su se dana odlučili podijeliti pa je jedan brat dobio kućište (malu kuću - kovačnicu) gdje je ostao živjeti. Prema toj legendi ime je dobilo obližnje naselje Kučište. Drugi je brat dobio viganj, što je bio naziv za kovački alat, te se nastanio na mjestu koje je zbog toga dobilo naziv Viganj, a treći od braće je dobio nakovanj pa je mjesto u kojem je odlučio živjeti dobilo ime Nakovanj.

Nakovanj is a town rich in ancient history. My wife and I particularly loved visiting the old shrines from 4 BC! The guides told us beautiful stories about this town. It was a learning trip and we shall bring the kids along next time.
