What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Buza Gate

   To get inside the walls of Dubrovnik, there are three imposing gates for easy access. If we tend to hear more about Pile and Ploče, the Buže door is no less used.

2. Stretched over 300 meters, or the entire approximate width of Dubrovnik, the Stradun can hardly be avoided in the discovery of the place. And at the same time, why would we try to do it when we know that this busy thoroughfare is the main one of the old town.

3. Far from the hubbub of Stradun, the Franciscan monastery preaches more peace for a peaceful, historical and plant retreat. In the middle of the 14th century, the Republic of Ragusa enjoyed a very advantageous prosperity and this soon became known.

4. Perched on its rock, more than 37 meters above the water, Fort Lovrijenac is the highest point of the old town outside the ramparts. According to legend, it took only three months for the inhabitants of Dubrovnik to build it in 1018.

5. Walking through the door automatically means making a majestic entrance into the old town. Built in 1537, on the west side of the ramparts, this important defensive structure recalls the time when Dubrovnik was closed at night, to prevent invaders from entering.

6. Not far from the entrance to the old town, the great fountain of Onofrio is a true symbol of Dubrovnik. Despite a thriving economy, fed by one of the most commercial ports in the Mediterranean in the 15th century, the Croatian city was desperately lacking a drinking water system.

7. Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola

   After climbing the monumental staircase, you arrived in front of the coveted Attraction. Inspired by the plans of the famous Chiesa del Gesù in Rome, it was built between 1699 and 1725, before being inaugurated in 1729.

8. A true symbol of the power of the former Republic of Ragusa, the Rectors’ Palace is like a time machine. Built in the 13th century to house the seat of government, it was the official residence of the Rector,

9. The Cathedral of the Assumption is a major building in the historic centre of Dubrovnik, and is a mille-feuille of religious sites. The version we have today was not the first to occupy the site.

10. On the right of the pier where you are located, there must arise a solid building crowned with a flag at its top. Did you spot him? Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, the Saint John Fort is one of the most important defensive points in Dubrovnik.

11. Arriving at Luža Square, it is true that you are treated to some symbolic monuments of Dubrovnik, including one very dear to him. Recognizable by its arcade gallery, the Sponza Palace is the only building to have remained standing after the devastating earthquake of 1667.

12. Like the Franciscans, the Dominican monks also chose to settle in the city walls, and even before their comrades. The construction of their monastery, launched around 1300, was not completed until two centuries later.

13. Due to its openness to the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik has plenty of views to captivate your holidaymaker soul. The proof live with the one in front of you that we find particularly pretty.

14. Ploce Gate

    If the west of the city has the Pile gate, the east is also well served with the Ploče gate. As an integral part of the city walls of Dubrovnik, this entrance always connects the exterior to the historic centre. Its current exterior version was built in 1628

15. In the past, the Ploče district was on the way of several merchants and travelers who stopped in Dubrovnik. In order to protect the city and its inhabitants from the epidemiological risks brought in from outside, a whole quarantine area was built here in the 14th century.

16. An undisputed symbol of Dubrovnik, you can imagine that we were going to tell you about these magnificent ramparts in our itinerary.

17. Orlando Column

    Orlando has been watching over Luža Square for over six centuries. Carved from a single block of stone in 1417 by a Milanese architect, this apparently modest column actually hides a powerful symbolism.

    Pass by without stopping

18. Relatively discreet, but one of the most important in Dubrovnik, St. Blaise Church is a small baroque jewel dedicated to the patron saint of the city. Originally built in the 14th century, the current building is not the one it once was.
