Ещё один «крепкий орешек» Дубровника – форт Ловренац (или форт Святого Лаврентия, Tvrđava Lovrijenac) – фортификационное сооружение трёхугольной формы, воздвигнутое на вершине огромной скалы (37 метро... more »

Another "die hard" Dubrovnik-Fort Lovrenac (or Fort of St. Lawrence, Tvrđava Lovrijenac)-trjohugolnoj forms of fortification erected on top of a huge rock (37 meters above sea level), the location receiving the sonorous "pogonjalo" Gibraltar of Dubrovnik ". Steep, overgrown with spiky bushes its slopes almost unapproachable. Lovrenac, who was a symbol of resistance to the Venetian Republic, was erected in order to protect the Western approaches to the city as far back as the 11th century, when the first phase of building additional fortifications, he subsequently constantly strengthened and reconstructed. Aborigines now called this Fort "-haired elder, and at its gates preserved ancient Latin inscription, translated differently in different sources, but the essence of which boils down to one thing: freedom cannot be sold for any treasures. Photos of the Fort are received and surprisingly well with the land, and, if possible, by the sea. Recommend!

Do the city walls and the fort. There is a ticket that includes both and it's worth it. The walls go around the whole city and you walk anti-clockwise as it's a one way system. This works well and was a great experience with beautiful views.

A place to visit for Game of Thrones fans with many recognisable scenes having been filmed in and around the fort.

Awesome views croon the top! Worth the walk up the stairs and a great place to see where the game of Thrones series was filmed as well.
