To take a look at the beauty of this city, one of these two solutions should be taken by tourists: take a cable car to go to Srdj and see the city from a bird’s eye view or visit the city by walking through its walls. It is best to do both if there is time. The walk through the walls is pleasant, provides a view of the outskirts of the city, and a very close view of the city itself, the richness of diverse roofs, buildings, with which the bell tower and dome are raised. It is beautiful! Be sure to visit the walls of Dubrovnik.
Great food & wine, nice but the atmosphere is a bit dead. Located on the far end of the port away from the hustle and bustle of the main city, in a dated marina building. The service was attentive, but felt a tad pushy on the attempt to up-sell the fresh catch - which I get, but don’t like. We had the ‘Best of Dubrovnik ‘starter, clams, grilled squid and fish with Risotto - all were excellent. Would give the extra star if the atmosphere was more lively.
Dubrovnik City Walls are a constellation of fortifications surrounding the old part of Dubrovnik. They were built from the 13th to the 17th century for defense purposes. Long are 1940 m, up to 25 m high, on a land of 4-6 m in thickness, and by sea 1.5-3 m. On four sides of the world, they are protected by the towers.
When the 13th century wall was built, the old town’s space was already defined and could no longer spread. Inside the city walls, during the Dubrovnik Republic, there were about 2000 inhabitants living at the time of the Constitution in 1272, and most of them were in the 15th century, some 6000 people. In the 14th century 15 square-tower buildings were built. With the appearance of the pile, the ramparts have been strengthened to protect them from the artillery attacks. Because of the dangers of the Venetian, all unnecessary openings on the walls at the port are closed. City walls were given the present look in the 15th and 16th centuries. Wars affected the new construction. When Constantinople fell in 1453, the Minceta Tower was built. Because of the Turkish-Venetian wars, the towers of St. Ivan, Revelin and the Bastion of St. Margarete (in St. Margaret’s). The walls were built at great speed because of the danger of war.
