Dalmatia - Dubrovnik
Heaven on Earth
Walls are built to protect treasures, and in Dubrovnik this is particularly accurate, with 1,940 metres of stone surrounding one
of the world’s most beautiful cities. As George Bernard Shaw stated: “If you want to see heaven on Earth, come to Dubrovnik”.
“The Pearl of the Adriatic” has captivated and seduced kings and artists for centuries with its immaculate medieval
architecture. How will it inspire you?
