Why Lovrijenac Fortress matters
Lovrijenac sits on a tall rock just outside the city walls, and has the best view of the old town from the outside. Inside, the open courtyard hosts theatre performances in summer. The climb is short but steep. The fortress is an important part of how Dubrovnik defended its independence.
Talking points
