Prožura is a village on the island of Mljet in southern Croatia. It is connected by the road D120.
History Dating back to medieval times, Prožura is one of the island's few settlements not visible from the sea. Defense against pirate threats relied significantly on Kaštio, a prominent square defensive tower from the 17th century that overlooks the village, as well as the clever strategies devised by the inhabitants. During the Dubrovnik Republic period, this small town served as a peaceful retreat for the nobility of Dubrovnik.
Prožura also features its own port, considered one of the most attractive bays on Mljet. Additionally, the area includes the Prožura mudflat, a location where eels were traditionally fished for centuries.
