About The City of Dubrovnik
Old Town is quite interesting as it has large stone walls that completely surround it. These walls date all the way back to the 10th century and are 8 feet high and 19 feet thick in some places. They are 1.2 miles in length and visitors can walk along them. The walls were built to keep out invaders and protect the city. In addition to the walls there are 2 forts and 2 towers that were built in the 15th century to add to the defenses of Old Town. The Minceta Tower was used to protect the northern edge of the city and the Bokar Towar was used to protect the main entrance called the Pile Gate. The Revelin Fort protected the entrance to the east and the Lovrjenac Fort protected the west. Even with these walls, towers and forts Dubrovnik is rather charming with its marble streets and beautiful buildings. To learn about the rise and fall of the city, there are a number of museums nearby that have many interesting artefacts as well as artwork that is rather intriguing. One of the best parts about Old Town is that visitors can get a great view of the enchanting Adriatic Sea.
