The closest city to the island is the historic Dubrovnik. Due to its Mediterranean climate, Dubrovnik is guaranteed to have great sunny days. A maze of terracotta rooftops and narrow streets, Dubrovnik is a tourist hotspot for witnessing the culture and history of this region. The architecture is glorious and filled with sculptures, archways and engravings. Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the old town buildings were completed in the 13th century, giving a glimpse into what it looked like all those years ago. The old town was later encircled by a large stone wall which stands today but was completed in the 16th century. The wall runs up to the shoreline and defines the city’s architectural skyline. A popular city walk, the ‘walls of Dubrovnik’ can easily be self-guided or in a group. The walls of Dubrovnik are 1940 meters long and include an impressive six fortresses. If you wish to explore every inch, planning would be wise. Fortresses are speckled in the Croatian countryside, reflecting Croatia’s historical past.
The Lovrijenac fortress in Dubrovnik is impressive to visit. Built against a 37-metre rock face, this fortress was built in the 16th century. Today it gives an impressive backdrop to many theatrical performances from local theatres. If you want to see more of the impressive historic walls of the city, there are many tours for you to go on.
The architecture of Dubrovnik is rich in history. Rector’s Palace, an elegant 14th-century palace that is now a museum, is an example of how the centuries defined the city.
