Dubrovnik, Croatia

Situated in the very south of Croatia, the haunting city of Dubrovnik effortlessly evokes the splendor of its past.

The city walls encircle a tight maze of narrow streets and ornate stone buildings. Completed in the 13th century, the walls along with the Old City, have been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. These walls represent the powerful vision of freedom that has motivated the people of Dubrovnik for centuries.

The entrance to the fortress Lovrijenac just outside the city walls bears the inscription: Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro (Liberty is not to be sold for all the gold of the world). Freedom is Dubrovnik’s greatest treasure.

Fortifications, palaces, balconies, chapels, terraces, narrow streets, town squares, monastery cloisters, church bells- the city is a picturesque scene of theatre, atmosphere, and rhythm.
