Walls of
Dubrovnik are providing you the bird’s eye view
|
Dubrovnik wouldn’t be Dubrovnik without its famous
walls which are surrounding the Old City.
It’s easy to get lost when you wander in the small streets
of old city of Dubrovnik. Sometimes those small streets can be totally empty
and you are able to wander there all by yourself. They can give you a good
insight to local living and for me they are part of the unique atmosphere of
Dubrovnik. In the other hand the walls of Dubrovnik are crowded, but they give you
a totally different view to the city, its small streets and surrounding
landscape. From the wall you can also still see clearly the huge damage caused
by Yugoslavian army, because there are clear color differences in orange roofs
of houses due the reconstruction. When reconstruction was made color of new
tiles was not totally matching with old ones, so the scars of the war can still
be clearly seen.
About 2 kilometers long walls of Dubrovnik are surrounding the
whole old city. In midday heat walking around them can be exhausting, but it’s
still worth of the views! Lot of scenes for HBO series Game of Thrones have been filmed in the walls and its towers.
