Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local

Fort Lovrijenac

Fort Lovrjenac often called "Dubrovnik's Gibraltar", is a fortress and theater outside the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, 37 metres (121 ft) above sea level.[1] Famous for its plays and importance in resisting Venetian rule, it overshadows the two entrances to the city, from the sea, and by land. Early in the 11th century, the Venetians attempted to build a fort on the same spot where Fort Lovrijenac currently stands. If they had succeeded, they would have kept Dubrovnik under their power, but the people of the city beat them to it. The "Chronicles of Ragusa" reveal how the fort was built within just three months and from then on constantly reconstructed. When the Venetian ships arrived, full of materials for the construction of the fort, they were told to return to Venice.

Walls of Dubrovnik

The Walls of Dubrovnik are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the city of Dubrovnik. Ramparts were built in the outlying areas of the city, including the mountain slopes as part of a set of statues from 1272. The existing city walls were constructed mainly during the 13th–17th centuries. The walls run an uninterrupted course of approximately 1,940 metres (6,360 ft) in length, encircling most of the old city, and reach a maximum height of about 25 metres (82 ft)

The Villa Sheherezade is situated in an exclusive location at the heart of Dubrovnik. Originally constructed in 1929 by the affluent Russian Jew, Vilim Zimdin, in honor of his mysterious mistress named Sheherezade, after whom the villa continues to be named.

As early as in the 14th century, following the rise of contagious disease epidemics, the Dubrovnik government decided to build the first quarantines for isolating travellers and examining goods intended for distribution, and in 1590, construction of Lazareti in Ploče began and lasted until 1642.
