TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY IN WALLS OF DUBROVNIK

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.
