Around and Ontop of Dubrovnik

On our first full day in Dubrovnik we walked around the city on our own and did a walking tour.  Dubrovnik is a walled city so if you look in the first picture you can see people walking on the wall that goes around it. It is about a 1.2 mile walk around the walls.  It is also a popular filming site for Games of Thrones.


Below is a picture of Onofrio's Fountain. It is a sixteen-sided container with a small dome.  It was one of the ending points of the aqueduct system. Each of the sixteen sides has a unique stone-carved masked face. The fountain was also partly damaged by the earthquake in 1667.

See the people walking around the wall.

The bell tower is 102 feet tall and was built in 1444. It is one of the symbols of the free city state of Ragusa. It was rebuilt in 1929 as it had lost its stability through an earthquake and was in danger of falling. The brass face of the clock shows the phases of the moon. Two human figures strike the bell every hour.
