The Croatian city of Dubrovnik is located on the Adriatic Sea in the Dalmatia region, one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. The historical prosperity of this city is due to maritime trade. It has a humid subtropical climate, with cold winds blowing along the Adriatic coast between October and April. The temperature between July and August is 28 degrees Celsius during the day and 23 degrees Celsius during the night.
The most famous landmarks of Dubrovnik are:
- Lojrenjek Castle: Located west of the Old Town, 377 meters above ground level, it is a symbol of survival and freedom, used to defend the city. The "Ragusa Chronicles" reveal how the fortress was built in just three months to counter the Venice fleet. It was engraved above the entrance in Latin: "Freedom is not sold in all the gold of the world."
The fort includes St. Lawrence's religious edifice and a theater where theatrical performances are held as part of the "Dubrovnik Summer" program.
- Stratton: is the main street in the city; it was built of limestone, with an indication that it extends over 300 meters through the Old Town and is a haven for tourists to explore architectural treasures. It is bordered by two gates: Pale and Plucheckd. All the houses were built in Stratton after an earthquake struck the city in 1667. This street attracted a large number of tourists, especially stars including Mickey Rourke, Kevin Spicy, Sean Connery, Tom Cruise and Beyoncé. The street is also used for ceremonial processions.
The island of Krum is located in the Adriatic Sea, 600 meters southeast of Dubrovnik. The island's highest point is 966 meters above sea level. It contains the fortress of the royal castle built by the French, although it is later named Maximilian Tower by the Austrians. The island has a botanical garden that is home to subtropical plants and other plants imported from Australia.
