Dubrovnik, Croatia - A City of Royalty
by Roy Witman
The Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik, Croatia, is
often frequented by royalty and is virtually
unchanged since its 13th-century completion.
Situated on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, this city
has had a dramatic and cluttered past. Being
tossed from one regime to another, Dubrovnik
(formerly called Ragusa) was finally freed after 14
centuries of upheaval.
As part of their military strategy, Dubrovnik
constructed a wall to encompass the city. Surviving
years of threats and attacks, the wall is still
standing today and is highly visible to those
approaching the city via cruise ship.
The Wall
According to Princess Cruises, "The town of Ston is
surrounded by one of the longest defensive walls in
the world. The stone wall, over three miles in
length, protects the city and ancient salt pans
created during the Dubrovnik Republic in the 12th
to 19th centuries." The wall is of such significance
that it has been named a World Heritage Site by
UNESCO.
Dubrovnik gained her independence in the early
'90s although she had to endure an attack. On
October 1, 1991, the Yugoslav People's Army began
an assault that lasted seven months. At the end,
the walls held, and the country was renamed the
Republic of Croatia.
Excursions
Filled with bay laurel and camphor trees, Dubrovnik
has as many smells as it does sites. The aroma of
bay leaves wafts through the air, leaving fragrant
clues as to the types of vegetation found in this
region. Many cruise lines, including Princess
Cruises, offer excursions that include walking tours
of the many botanical gardens in Dubrovnik. In
addition to bay leaves, you'll also become familiar
with camphor trees, which have a similar scent to
eucalyptus and menthol.
Additional tours that take you along Croatia's coast
and countryside offer hours of fun. Tour
monasteries, historic churches and museums filled
with ancient wonders. You'll also have plenty of
opportunities to sample local seafood (a specialty!),
locally grown figs and other regional delights.
The Gem Among Gems
With customary white buildings with bright red
roofs, Dubrovnik has a panoramic view of
sapphire-blue seas backed by lush-green foliage.
The Dubrovnik Summer Festival (held since 1950)
celebrates cultural accomplishments in music and
stage, while the Dubrovnik Film Festival marks
achievements on screen. Numerous other cultural
festivals take place throughout the year.
With regal palaces and cathedrals, Dubrovnik
boasts some of the most detailed and breathtaking
buildings in the world. One such site is the Church
of St. Ignatius (the stairway and the square in front
are used as venues at the Dubrovnik Summer
Festival). Enormous columns of marbled pink, gray
and blue hues stretch forward toward the sky as if
to reach heaven itself.
From its turmoiled past to its bright future,
Dubrovnik is a gleaming jewel in the Adriatic that
offers both educational and cultural value to those
who visit.
