Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik is a major port city in Croatia that dates back to the
Roman period. Dubrovnik lies at the very southern end of Croatia,
and has a population of approximately 55,000. The city is widely
known for the five historic fortresses (St. Lawrence, Revelin, Minceta
Tower, Fort Bokar and St. John) that lie within the city, including
three that make up part of the medieval walls that surround the
city.
Dubrovnik was heavily bombed by the Serbian and Montenegrin Army
during the war (1992 to 1995). Almost all of the damage has been
covered over but if you look closely around the old town you can
still see the damage from mortars in the cobblestone streets and
bullet marks in the stone houses.
