Dubrovnik City Walls
The impressive walls enclosing the ancient city of Dubrovnik
were laid out in the 13th century and became an ongoing work for
almost two centuries. They are among the finest in the world and
are the city's main attraction. The fortified walls are up to 10
feet (3m) thick on the sea side, and at least twice as thick on the
land side to guard against invasion by the Turks in the 15th
century, and reach 82 feet (25m) in height. Visitors can access the
walls via a steep stone stairway where they will be rewarded with
superb views over the old city and out to sea. A walk around the
old city from this fascinating vantage point is a must for visitors
to Dubrovnik. The detached Lovrjenac Fort to the west of the old
city stood guard against both land and sea invasion and is also
worth a visit for its superb views.
