Dubrovnik City Walls • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the world-renowned Dubrovnik City Walls. As you stand here near the Saint Dominic monastery, you are entering one of the most perfectly preserved fortification systems in Europe. This stone crown, which has protected the city since the Middle Ages, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in nineteen seventy-nine. You are about to walk an uninterrupted loop of one thousand, nine hundred forty meters. Look around at the limestone blocks; these walls were not built all at once but evolved from the eighth century through the seventeenth century to meet the changing threats of history. Today, they offer more than just a walk; they provide a bird’s-eye view into the soul of the city-state of Ragusa, a place that valued its freedom above all else. Take a deep breath of the salty Adriatic air and prepare to step back in time.
