The conservation report will include a cultural and historical analysis of the Rector's Palace in Ston, where a multidisciplinary, multimedia space will be established as part of the TAKE IT SLOW project. This space will showcase cultural heritage, typical products, traditional land cultivation and production, customs, way of life, and the destination itself through various forms of art, design, presentations, and events.

The goal of the interpretive center is to introduce guests to the rich natural and cultural heritage, and it will also serve as a starting point for further exploration of Pelješac, the islands, and other parts of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County.
