2 - Dubrovnik Walls & Wars
Do you know that Dubrovnik was protected by both defensive fortifications
and the diplomatic skills of its leaders? This historic walk will focus
on the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in its
struggle to survive as a tiny (yet prosperous) independent republic
facing serious threats from powerful and dangerous enemies. Over the
centuries, the leaders and the walls of Dubrovnik both held firm.
Starting near the old port, your guide will lead you on top of and around
the city walls for breath-taking views of the port and the Old Town.
You’ll discover Revelin Fortress, Minceta Tower, Lovrijenac Fortress
and more - and why the city walls served as essential structures protecting
the people and wealth of the Old Town for centuries. This
walk on the city walls includes an admission ticket (50 kn).
