Dubrovnik, Croatia - A City of Royalty
by Roy Witman
The Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik, Croatia, is often
frequented by royalty and is virtually unchanged since its
13th-century completion. Situated on the coast of the Adriatic
Sea, this city has had a dramatic and cluttered past. Being
tossed from one regime to another, Dubrovnik (formerly called
Ragusa) was finally freed after 14 centuries of upheaval.
As part of their military strategy, Dubrovnik constructed a wall
to encompass the city. Surviving years of threats and attacks,
the wall is still standing today and is highly visible to those
approaching the city via cruise ship.
The Wall
According to Princess Cruises, "The town of Ston is surrounded
by one of the longest defensive walls in the world. The stone
wall, over three miles in length, protects the city and ancient
salt pans created during the Dubrovnik Republic in the 12th to
19th centuries." The wall is of such significance that it has
been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Dubrovnik gained her independence in the early '90s although
she had to endure an attack. On October 1, 1991, the
Yugoslav People's Army began an assault that lasted seven
months. At the end, the walls held, and the country was
renamed the Republic of Croatia.
Excursions
Filled with bay laurel and camphor trees, Dubrovnik has as
many smells as it does sites. The aroma of bay leaves wafts
through the air, leaving fragrant clues as to the types of
vegetation found in this region. Many cruise lines, including
Princess Cruises, offer excursions that include walking tours of
the many botanical gardens in Dubrovnik. In addition to bay
leaves, you'll also become familiar with camphor trees, which
have a similar scent to eucalyptus and menthol.
Additional tours that take you along Croatia's coast and
countryside offer hours of fun. Tour monasteries, historic
churches and museums filled with ancient wonders. You'll also
have plenty of opportunities to sample local seafood (a
specialty!), locally grown figs and other regional delights.
The Gem Among Gems
With customary white buildings with bright red roofs,
Dubrovnik has a panoramic view of sapphire-blue seas backed
by lush-green foliage. The Dubrovnik Summer Festival (held
since 1950) celebrates cultural accomplishments in music and
stage, while the Dubrovnik Film Festival marks achievements
on screen. Numerous other cultural festivals take place
throughout the year.
With regal palaces and cathedrals, Dubrovnik boasts some of
the most detailed and breathtaking buildings in the world. One
such site is the Church of St. Ignatius (the stairway and the
square in front are used as venues at the Dubrovnik Summer
Festival). Enormous columns of marbled pink, gray and blue
hues stretch forward toward the sky as if to reach heaven
itself.
From its turmoiled past to its bright future, Dubrovnik is a
gleaming jewel in the Adriatic that offers both educational and
cultural value to those who visit.
