History of the Stone City
Dubrovnik is often called the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” and for good reason. This walled city, once known as the Republic of Ragusa, was a proud and powerful maritime republic that thrived on trade and diplomacy. Protected by massive stone walls and perched beside the sea, Dubrovnik flourished through the Middle Ages as a symbol of independence, culture, and resilience.
Today, its polished marble streets, ancient churches, and Gothic-Renaissance palaces invite you to step back in time. Walking through the Old Town feels like walking through a living museum; with the scent of the sea and the rhythm of history all around you.
