[{"title":"Fort Lovrijenac (St. Lawrence Fortress)","wiki_title":"Lovrijenac","description":null,"wiki_description":"Fort Lovrijenac or St. Lawrence Fortress, Italian Fortezza di San Lorenzo, often called \"Dubrovnik's Gibraltar\", is a fortress and theater outside the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, 37 metres (121\u00a0ft) above sea level. Famous for its plays and importance in resisting Venetian rule, it overshadows the two entrances to the city, from the sea, and by land. Early in the 11th century, the Venetians attempted to build a fort on the same spot where Fort Lovrijenac currently stands. If they had succeeded, they would have kept Dubrovnik under their power, but the people of the city beat them to it. The \"Chronicles of Ragusa\" reveal how the fort was built within just three months and from then on constantly reconstructed. When the Venetian ships arrived, full of materials for the construction of the fort, they were told to return to Venice. The Croatian leg of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series takes place in Lovrijenac.","day_image":"4eca2795-2a96-4a6f-dcbb-131ca478eb00","address":"","latitude":42.640731,"longitude":18.104412,"wiki_latitude":42.640731,"wiki_longitude":18.104412,"place_id":"1754efa3aea68b4ea4dd89333f82b7fc","order":0,"tour_ids":"5878","order_tours":{"5878":0},"colors":["#64f49d"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Essential Free Tour Dubrovnik","id":5878}]},{"title":"St. Blaise\u2019s Church","wiki_title":"St Blaise's Church","description":null,"wiki_description":"The Church of St. Blaise is a Baroque church in Dubrovnik and one of the city's major sights.

Highlights of a Free Tour in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik Free Walking Tours around the old town are a must on a visit to Croatia. Most tourists enter through the iconic Pila Gate and stroll through the beautifully preserved Stradun Street, a limestone-paved work of art that stretches for over 300 meters through the historic Old Town. Visit the Walls of Dubrovnik for a glimpse of Croatian history and culture. They are a series of medieval defensive stone walls that were built between the 7th and 17th centuries. Other highlights in the Old Town include the Rector’s Palace and the Assumption Cathedral. Fans of the popular HBO show, Game of Thrones, will love this city. Many of the city’s sights, such as Fort St. Lawrence Fortress and Dubrovnik West Pier were film locations for the Game of Thrones series, including the iconic King’s Landing. If you’re an avid Game of Thrones fan, you will find yourself in paradise and feel like you’ve walked right into the show.
Things to Do in Dubrovnik
Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, this stunning place is an absolute joy to visit. Spend a morning walking the Old Town walls. The route is around 2km and you should make the effort to walk all the way around, as you will be rewarded with breath-taking views on every side. Dubrovnik is not only rich in historical wonders, but also in culinary delights. With its proximity to the sea, understandably, Dubrovnik offers some outstanding seafood dishes. Make sure you try some crni rizot (black risotto) before you leave. Just outside the Old Town, you can take a cable car to Mount Srd. Head up the Mount around sunset for spectacular views of the Old Town and islands. When in Dubrovnik, you absolutely must visit the two major islands, Lokrum and Mljet, which contain magnificent gardens, crystal-clear lakes, gorgeous beaches, and mesmerizing caves. Ferries run from the port in the Old Town, or you can even take a kayak!
