This city is absolutely stunning. You can get lost just wandering all day long. The old town is surrounded by huge stone walls from the 16th century. There a ton of people taking photos and lots of songs being played from Game of Thrones. I never watched the show, but I heard it was filmed here. Someone told me they hardly had to build any sets or scenery because the city is so well preserved.
There is a commemorative stone for a photojournalist that was killed during the recent war. It looked like it was being repaired. It was surrounded by scaffolding. It is hard to believe that from October of 1991 to May of 1992 the Yugoslav People’s Army and Croatian forces were fighting here. The Croatian forces were defending the city of Dubrovnik. It was called the Croatian War of Independence. I was looking up information it. The Yugoslav Army had 7,000 people. Croatia had between 480 and 1,000. Croatians were victorious but 194 people died and there were 16,000 Croatian refugees.
Love the drawbridge!
I was wearing pink to go to see the Barbie movie!
