Save

Located outside the city walls, it was built to protect the city of Dubrovnik from Venetian attacks, and generally to protect the sea approach to the city. Today, this fortress is famous because during the summer months, many performances are held as part of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the most famous of which is Shakespeare's Hamlet. With its stone and solid structure it will stand proudly far into the future.

Thrilling experience on our visit to the fortress for the organised festival with live performances. We enjoyed the people that we interacted with and were amazed to meet new people and make new friends.

I had a great time at Lovrijenac.I was honoured to witness the exquisite performances done during the summer festival. The fortress is rich in history especially learning that it was built to protect the sea from being attacked by Venetians. I loved the panoramic view of the dazzling sea and the old town.The Fortress is a wonderful place and a must see for everyone.

This fortress caught my eyes from the outside. Its ancient architectural design and structure is just mesmerizing. It is still in good condition despite it being over a century old. The view of Adriatic sea was fantastic.Touring this place was a magical experience.
