 The wide streets of Dubrovnik by MikeAtSea
My favourite past time in the afternoon was just to sit next to one of those squares or roads with a glass of wine to enjoy the atmosphere of this stunning city. Leave a Comment

We took a ferry trip to an island and as we left the old city harbour I took several photos of the Walled City. From the ocean the old walls look massive and you can appreciate the sense of security the inhabitants must have felt from the 14th century until the events of the 20th century. The second photo shows the Fort of St John which protected the harbour entrance. Leave a Comment

Walled Cities are, in general, architecturally splendid.....but Dubrovnik is out on its own. All the original ancient stone walls and ramparts have been lovingly restored. Attention to detail has not been spared.
You enter and leave this part of the city by one of a series of stronghold gates, which have old fashioned drawbridges over the waters beneath. As you walk the streets are of rather shiny cobble and at times I felt as if I were in St. Mark's Square in Venice (especially when it came to the flocking pigeons). You will find yourself surrounded by fountains to equal those of Rome, stately Churches, and converted Palaces.
I was advised that we would "do" Old City Dubrovnik in half a day - but if you are a History or Architecture buff then you wouldn't do it in a lifetime.
I found myself taking pictures of bits of balustrades, stained glass windows etc.
The City fronts onto the sea and boats line up to take tourists for day or hour trips around the coast. In the Summer this area is thronged with pleasure craft.
As we were here in a very cold Spring, I enjoyed sitting outside the streetside cafes, all snuggled up in a fleece jacket and watching the people go by.

 WALK UP CALL by travelgourmetLeave a Comment Address: Side walks of Old TownDirections: Walk down the Stradun and each little side opening street might just take you to the top. It is wonderful to be amongst the locals as you climb higher and walk the streets where they call home. Just make sure you respect their privacy.

A couple of hours ago, talking to a neighbor who worked longtime in a cruise navy, having visited in detail the five continents, I asked him where would he go again with pleasure. He answered Dubrovnik, without knowing that I was coming from there. Asking why, I got an answer easy to accept: The life of town. Night and day, the town lives permanently. And when I told him that I had been there and the city is not dammaged as he thought (it's hard to see signs of the war), I noticed how alliviated he was. Leave a Comment

The Baroque-style Sveti Ignacija Jesuit church was finnished in 1725 on a hill on the southern edge of the old town, next to Gundulic square.
The church is approached via a wonderful baroque staircase modelled on the Spanish Steps in Rome.
The church is open 07:00-20:00 every day. Leave a Comment Address: Ruđera Boškovića 6, Dubrovnik, CroatiaPhone: (+385-20) 32 35 00Directions: Take stairway from Gundulic square up to Poljana Rudera Boskovica square.
