In the Elaphite archipelago, Šipan is the largest and most distant island from Dubrovnik. Along with Šipanska luka, Suđurađ is the main settlement on the island where the country villa's and holdings of the Stjepović-Skočibuha family are located. These are first-class monuments of cultural heritage on the island of Šipan. The Skočibuha family is the most famous civic family of the 16th century in Dubrovnik, whose most prominent members are Tomo and his son Vice Stjepović-Skočibuha. They mainly gained their wealth and recognition by dealing with seafaring. The country buildings of Skočibuha, with their position and defensive role, are one of the factors attracting the inhabitants and shaping the settlement of Suđurađ. The paper presents an analysis of the original archival material, the Austrian cadastre from 1837, which shows the ownership relations within the scope of the research as well as the purpose of the plots. It is shown that country complexes were a factor in shaping the settlement of Suđurađ. Skočibuhe are the owners of a large part of the settlement of Suđurađ, whose heritage passes to the Fačenda family. The last member of the Skočibuha hereditary family, Nikoleta Fačenda, was registered on most of the cadastral parcels of land and buildings in the settlement of Suđurađ in the first half of the 19th century.
