Dubrovnik outside the walls

For our second day in Dubrovnik, we spent much of the day outside the city walls. We walked to Fort Lovrijenac (aka St. Lawrence) to get some great views of the walled city. The fort is also home to a summer Shakespeare festival, and apparently, some scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed here.

Nearby the fort, even higher above the city and port, we strolled through a park with some nice shade trees, cool breezes and great views.

Back within city walls, we took in more of the winding pathways, and ran across an archaeological dig site where they were trying to find the remains of an old church, but never found it. We liked some of the whimsical and decorative stone carvings on the buildings and the fountain. Then it was time to get on our ferry to Split back north in Dalmatia country.Read more
