City Walls of Dubrovnik

The City Walls of Dubrovnik are historic defensive fortifications that surround the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, built between the 12th and 17th centuries. They consist of thick stone walls, towers, forts, and gateways designed to protect the city from invaders and provide strategic military defense. Today, these well-preserved walls are a major tourist attraction, offering visitors panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and Dubrovnik’s old town. They reflect medieval engineering and serve as a symbol of the city’s historical independence and resilience. Walking along the walls provides insight into Dubrovnik’s rich maritime and architectural heritage.
