Here’s a closer look at Dubrovnik — one of the best preserved, walled medieval cities in the world. This photo was obviously taken just outside of those walls. During the war in 1991, the city was under constant bombardment for seven months. It received significant damage from the shelling and most of the old rooftops have since been replaced. The locals, however, aided by the giant walls, were able to hold “Old Town” and keep the Serb-Montenegrin forces out. One of Dubrovnik’s most popular tourist attractions is to walk the circumference of the city on top of the wall.
