Croatia

DUBROVNIK


The guesthouse I stayed at


Lots of stairs in Dubrovnik


The residential area


Gate to the Old Town


City walls


The city was built right up to the cliffs


Old Town and the hills above. You're not supposed to walk the hills because not all the mines have been found from the 1991 war against the Yugoslav People's Army.


Half of Old Town


The other half of Old Town


Each black triangle and circle represents artillery damage sustained during the '91 siege of Dubrovnik


Faded roofs are original. The new red roofs mean the originals were destroyed during the siege.


In some cases, they didn't bother to rebuild


Dubrovnik harbor


Walking the city walls at sunset


A Dubrovnik "beach"


Church of St. Blaise


Digital clock tower


Always nice to see artillery soldiers get recognition


The south walls


Fortress Lovrijenac. Supposedly built in 3 months.


Lokrum


View from the ferry to Lokrum


Swimming hole


Another Croatian "beach"


Lokrum harbor


View of Lokrum from the highest point on the island
