They call it the pearl of the Adriatic and as soon as you visit it it is not difficult to understand why, it is like a hidden jewel between medieval walls that surround its old town, bathed by a sapphire-colored sea and surrounded by mountains.

Today it is one of the most visited cities in the Mediterranean, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1979.
Due to its medieval charm, it has been the scene of several film projects including Star Wars, Episode VIII and the famous series Game of Thrones, yes, in Dubrovnik the capital of the 7 kingdoms (King’s Landing) is recreated.

Dubrovnik is a city that invites you to stroll. It is a real pleasure to embark on the adventure of walking through its cobbled streets to discover the traces of its long history, its monuments, its buildings and many other places of interest.

Dubrovnik Cathedral It is the most important religious building in Dubrovnik, where its dome stands out, and it is one of the most beautiful views from the city walls.

Iglesia de San Ignacio, this church is really beautiful, but it is somewhat overshadowed by the famous stairs of The Walk of Shame from Game of Thrones, which is right next door.

Once we cross Stradun Street and pass through the gates of the walled city, there is the Old Port of Dubrovnik, it is nice to take a walk here and if you go at night it will be very romantic.

This is undoubtedly one of the most photographed places in Dubrovnik and there are always many people imitating the Walk of Shame from the series. These stairs were designed in 1738 by the Italian Pietro Passalacqua, who was inspired by the Spanish Steps in Rome.

Hi @MaxWalsh ,

Thanks a lot for these great photos of Dubrovnik! This beautiful city and the rest of the country are in my wish list already and I hope I’ll see it soon. :slightly_smiling_face:

What was your favorite experience there? Its baroque architecture reminds me of some cities in the South of Italy, like Noto or Lecce. Do you know them?

Hello @Ewaade_3A thank you very much for your comment.
Thank you very much friend @MAHBUB_HYDER have a good day you too!
@PaulPavlinovich The traditional instrument you are using is called a tambura or tamburitza, used throughout Croatia. It is a stringed instrument similar to a bandurria.

@PaulPavlinovich :joy: that was my favorite too.

I like that of the sculpture amd that of the Person, it was because of those two I got the urge to tag you.

@MaxWalsh you are welcome, are you from Croatia? I have been learning your language for a while because of my friend @renata1 she is one of the only two people from Croatia I have met here and my onky friend from there
