Dubrovnik In Your Pocket - Dubrovnik City Walls (Gradske zidine)

http://dubrovnik.inyourpocket.com
Almost two kilometers in length, Dubrovnik's city walls are among the best preserved and most attractive on this planet, and a walk along them is an absolute must. The defenses were built between the 8th and the 16th century. The fact that on the land side they are almost 6m thick in places shows their primary purpose as defense against attack from the mountainous hinterland -- the Ottoman Empire, for example, lay just a few kilometers inland. The walls were strengthened by myriad towers and bastions, and were never breached -- the Republic of Dubrovnik only fell after Napoleon's armies were invited in on condition that they would respect its independence. Two further fortresses, Revelin to the east and Lovrijenac, on a headland just west of the Old Town, provided additional strategic defense. Revelin is a venue for concerts during the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Lovrijenac is one of the most atmospheric venues of the festival, with traditional performances of Hamlet taking place under the stars. Your ticket to the city walls includes entrance to Lovrijenac, and its well worth visiting. It was for some time used as a prison, and is surrounded by delightful parkland with some of the best views of the city, a great picnic spot.

Germany has never been allowed to forget the ALLEGED crimes of Mr Hitler and neither should Croatia or Serbia be forgiven or allowed to forget, for their crimes were MUCH WORSE and a MILLION times more DISGUSTING and it happened 3 times in the last 100 years !!

Described by many as THE WORST ATROCITIES EVER how could anybody even begin to forget ? ?

Most of the testaments on this page are BY Croatian`s or very silly people that have not travelled . Dubrovnic`s OLD City is NOT ORIGINAL any more but has been rebuilt are the SERB`s & Croatian`s in all their INTELLIGENCE embarked on Sickening Disturbing assault on Land Marks and Historical treasures.

The Serb`s BOMBED the Shit out of Dubrovnik & its old City just like they did in Sarajevo when the Bombed one of the oldest library`s in the world
