Historical Sites of Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is defined by its 13th-century fortifications, including the monumental Walls of Dubrovnik and the circular Minčeta Tower. This collection features the Rector’s Palace, once the administrative heart of the Republic of Ragusa, and the western Pile Gate entrance. Coastal highlights include the medieval Fort Bokar and the historic Old Port. On nearby Lokrum Island, the ruins of a 12th-century Benedictine Abbey stand as a testament to the city’s complex maritime and monastic history.
