Sitting austerely atop a 37-meter-high sheer rock and keeping watch over the coast is the Lovrijenac Fortress. It is arguably one of the most impressive historical attractions in Dubrovnik, and also one of the most key locations in the defense of the city’s western coast. Lovrinejac is estimated to have been built sometime between 1018 and 1038 and has seen several upgrades and alterations throughout the 15th and 16th century.

Explore the quadrilateral court with its mighty arches or stand on one of the three terraces to enjoy a scenic view of the sea. Better yet, get a first hand look at the canons and other marvels that made the fortress as dominant and daunting as it was.
