Dubrovnik is a city in southern Croatia fronting the
Adriatic Sea. It's known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with
massive stone walls completed in the 16th century. Its well-preserved
buildings range from baroque St. Blaise Church to Renaissance Sponza
Palace and Gothic Rector’s Palace, now a history museum. Paved with
limestone, the pedestrianized Stradun (or Placa) is lined with shops and
restaurants.
