Dubrovnik is surrounded by the City Walls, almost 2 km long, for which it is known all over the world. Throughout history, these walls have protected the city of Dubrovnik from enemies, and today they bring visitors from all over the world. Walking through the walls of Dubrovnik, you will get to know some of the imposing fortresses that served to defend the Republic of Dubrovnik. Of the five fortresses, three are an integral part of the city walls - Minčeta, Bokar and Sv. Ivan, and two are detached, Lovrijenac in the west and Revelin in the east. Minčeta Fortress is located on the highest part of the city and defended the city from the north. Since 2015, the Race through the Walls has been held, which runs their entire length. This historically unique city is often called a museum city due to its rich tourist offer, preserved historical buildings and sights. Simply every step through the cobbled streets of this city is a return to a rich past that makes for an unforgettable experience.

Be sure to walk along the city wall of Dubrovnik, a view of the whole city and the sea, it's hard to imagine how much effort people put into building it

It was fun touring the walls and i enjoyed my visit and walk on top of the walls around. The view of the city, streets and the houses was beautiful and it is awesome to visit the place in the morning hours before the temperatures of the sun are high and it's hot. We took a lot of beautiful pictures that were memorable. The medieval history of the place precedes it and we enjoyed getting to know about it on our tour.

Great architectural structure of the wall and it has several towers and turrets around them that we loved as we had our walk along the wall.

These walls are adjacent to the Adriatic sea. I loved walking along these walls. The breeze from the sea was just fantastic to look at. One could also cycle along this walls. The walls were built to protect the city of dubrovnik during invasion. As I walked along these walls, I managed to visit other historical sites such as Fort Lovrijenac
