Comprised of cathedrals, monasteries, and towers, all packed together between 30 foot walls that touch the Ocean, Dubrovnik Croatia is an Adriatic beauty. Founded in the 8th century, Dubrovnik was protected by the Byzantine Empire for 500 years, though later came under authority of the Venetians, whose capital city, Venice, was another major trading force of the Adriatic.
Dubrovnik was especially vibrant during the European Renaissance, experience peace and economic prosperity for a few hundred years, during which artists and culture flourished.
Though confrontations emerged within its massive walls during the Yugoslavian civil wars in 1991 and 1992, Dubrovnik's timeless architecture and beauty still stand strong today, and is considered by many to be THE jewel of Croatian tourism.
After looking at these pictures. I agree.
