Description
Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful towns in the Mediterranean. Dubrovnik used to be an independent republic. It managed to survive many centuries, with constant threats to its territory, particularly from the mighty Ottoman Empire and Venice. As early as 19th century, it was discovered by celebrities as a place to be seen. George Bernard Shaw once said that `those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and find it`. Royalty, presidents and diplomats have all favoured the city. Dubrovnik is steeped in stunning architecture and sculptural detail, and boasts spectacular churches, monasteries, museums, and fountains
