Dubrovnik is a historic city on the Adriatic Sea in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned directly on the sea. It has in the recent years been coined as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, with good reason. The history of this town dates back to the 7th century, and its prosperity was based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Ragusa was one of the centers of the development of the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.

The “Old Town” in Dubrovnik is beautiful medieval town, complete with huge ring walls and intriguing small roads. The Old Town is full of life and is unlike many other medieval towns inhabited throughout the year. Stradun, the main street in the old town, is always buzzing with activity and the Old Town itself provides a stunning and breathtaking backdrop for any event. Dubrovnik is under UNESCO protection along side Venice, and is pristinely preserved so that we may enjoy this splendid historic place forever.
