After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive in the oldest section of Dubrovnik, a revered UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fans of the TV series “Game of Thrones,” which is based on George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novels, will recognize this part of Dubrovnik as King’s Landing, the fictional capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

Your first stop will be imposing Lovrijenac Fortress, located just outside the medieval walls that encircle Old Town. Known as Dubrovnik’s Gibraltar, the 11th-century fortress perches atop a craggy rock overlooking the sea, which represented Blackwater Bay in the books.

Continuing on, you will enter Old Town and make your way to the defensive walls to the south.

OVERVIEW

Gain an understanding of how the architecture of Old Town has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the changing times and better withstand natural disasters.

As you walk down the main street, known as the Stradun, you will pass some of the earliest buildings in Old Town, many of which were reconstructed following a catastrophic earthquake in 1667. Although the exterior of the Rector’s Palace has remained the same since the 15th century, the building has been used for different purposes, including an armory, a watch house and a prison.
