Dubrovnik is one of the world's most amazing and best preserved medieval walled cities in the world. Recently it became even more popular as the filming location of "Game of Thrones" King's Landing.
Founded in the 7th century, a free state between the 14th and 19th centuries, Dubrovnik became an important Mediterranean sea power and rivaled Venice as a trading port. The Old City of Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding medieval architecture and fortified old town, for its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.
