Explore the City Walls Encircling Dubrovnik Old Town

A real must see on your trip into the city from any of our Dubrovnik villas, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Walls of Dubrovnik aren't hard to find! Originally constructed from limestone in the early middle ages and later reconstructed in the 13th century, the walls were created to protect the city from attack from both sea and land. Warding off Ottoman attackers from the land, pirate plundering from the sea and constant invasion threats from Turkish and Venetian forces. this collection of huge stone forts, walls and gates has kept the city safe for centuries.

More recently, the walls were attacked during the Yugoslav army siege of 1991-92, causing huge amounts of damage to many buildings in the area. Much more effective at resisting modern weaponry than many of the more modern buildings in the area, the walls were only slightly damaged, and with over $7m spent on restoration, they still stand today bearing the marks of the attacks they have defended the city from over the years.

Nowadays, the walls are known as the iconic shooting location for hit TV show Game of Thrones, and are a great place to enjoy the view over the colourful tiles of Dubrovnik's roofs and the breathtaking Adriatic Ocean.

Sponza Palace

If Dubrovnik's cultural history, administrative past and gorgeous Renaissance architecture interests you even slightly, Sponza Palace is a must see on your trip into the city from any of our villas in the Dubrovnik area. Buit with Gothic influences, this Renaissance style palace is deeply tied to every aspect of the city's history. From a treasury, bank and school, to an armoury and mint, the palace has been in full use since its construction in the 16th century. Despite guarding the most precious historical documentation of Dubrovnik, the Dubrovnik archive, the palace has become much more of a tourist attraction in recent years, with many performances taking place in the intricately decorated courtyard.
