Looking over the rooftops of Dubrovnik.
Somehow, this fortress scene seemed like it should be in a James Bond movie.
Looking out at the walkway.
Last Monday, we spent the afternoon walking the fortress walls surrounding old town Dubrovnik. Not only were the views of the Adriatic Sea and rooftops of Dubrovnik spectacular, I also just plain enjoyed the walk. We started from the entry point near the Pile Gate and the Franciscan monastery and then climbed around above the city for a number of hours on top of the fortress walls – the guards’ old walkways. Built in the 10th century, the walls are 1,940 meters or 6,363 feet long and reach 25 meters or 82 feet high in some sections.
The old harbor.
Where we stopped for drinks.
Midpoint along the way, we stopped and had a glass of Croatian wine just below the walls on the cliff’s edge. Nice.
