Upper Corner Tower Foundry Museum, Dubrovnik

4.8

#3 of 85 in Museums in Dalmatia

Descend the corridors of Upper Corner Tower Foundry Museum and explore a well-preserved 15th-century foundry. A great collection of tools, pincers, keys, and canon ball molds lies amid stone warehouses, telling the story of the Republic of Ragusa's firepower program--developed in great secrecy in the period between Venetian and Ottoman suzerainty. An informative and enthusiastic guide will tell you all about geostrategy on the Adriatic, as well as the maritime strength of this small trading republic. The museum can be a little hard to find; look for a wooden door hidden next to a basketball court. You can plan Dubrovnik trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.

很壯觀，人也很多，如果對這個城市的歷史藝術之類感興趣可以做好功課。不感興趣單單欣賞美景就已經覺得很開心了。 more »

No es tan fácil de encontrar y quizás deberían promocionarla un poco más. Si eres amante de la historia te gustará este lugar more »

It is not so easy to find, and perhaps they should promote it a bit more. If you are a lover of history you will like this place

It is the recovery of a part in the walls of the city, where you'll find a foundry. It seems that in earlier centuries was used mainly to manufacture weapons, bullets, etc. for the war, which also sold to other countries in the region. The visit is carried out with a guide who explains very well throughout the tour and what we see. Recommended.

This is a hidden gem by the city wall. With 30 Kuna, one can escape the overly crowded Dubrovnik and the city wall. You would have the view of the old city, Fort St Laurence, Minceta tower and bird's-eye view of the Pile Gate. I was really glad that I found the entrance.

Nice people and a good audio tour, but not very big. Great historical artifacts.

Very interesting museum situated under the basketball court. The guide is super enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the foundry. The tour was around 45 minutes long and only for a modest 30 kuna!

Guide was very enthusiastic and made this tour really pleasant. Also it was a bit hidden so there were not many other tourists which is definitely a huge plus in this crowded Dubrovnik centre.
