Dubrovnik is work of human inspiration.It is mystery of the
aesthetic and the material, coalesced in harmony and form.
Dubrovnik is light, white walls, chiming bells and sea gulls
that slowly flap their wings. It is a city that fills the
heart. For centuries now it has explored freedom with verses
sung to liberty, the greatest of all treasures cherished by
the human heart.
Centuries of insight and accord, a simple, charming urban
entity, whose integral spirit and concordance are worthy of
our deepest admiration. The city at the foot of hill Srd is
a highlight of the Adriatic and the whole Croatia.
It's an absorbing city of constant activities and visits
to make. Things to see include the city walls, built between
the 8th and 16th centuries, a Franciscan monastery with Europe's
oldest pharmacy (still working), a 12th-century cathedral;
an arsenal built in the 13th century, and a corn depot house
(looking like a fortress) that dates back to the 16th century.
But the greatest fascination of the town simply lies in its
street life and street appearance, its medieval character,
all combined with the rich and colorful vegetation of the
Mediterranean region. Here, history, culture, and nature all
melt into one harmonic unity.
Apart from its historic atmosphere, Dubrovnik offers a remarkable
number of cultural programs (all of them again in operation
following the cessation of hostilities involving Croatia)
and a full range of sea sports.
