Dubrovnik UNESCO world heritage sites

Srd hill at Ulica kralja Petra Kresimira IV
Its height is 412 metres (1,352 ft), and its top is adorned with Fort Imperijal, built from 1806 to 1816, during the Napoleonic Wars. From the fortress, it is possible to see the walled city of Dubrovnik, Lokrum island, the Adriatic Sea and various local attractions.
St. Lawrence Fortress at Ul. od Tabakarije 29
Famous for its plays and importance in resisting Venetian rule, it overshadows the two entrances to the city, from the sea and by land.
Walls at Poljana Paska Milicevica
This complex structure, amongst the largest and most complete in Europe, protected the freedom and safety of a "civilised" and "sophisticated" republic that flourished in peace and prosperity for some five centuries.
Minceta at Ul. Nikole Tesle 2
Minceta, the highest point in the Dubrovnik defence system, is a large round fort with a massive base in the form of a huge covered outer wall. The fort is topped with a great Gothic crown that spreads over the side of the fort instilling the sense of power.
Dominican Monastery at Ul. Svetog Dominika 4
The Dominicans established their monastery in Dubrovnik as early as 1225, however the building of the current church and the monastery took much longer, hence the building of the monastery and St. Dominics church was only completed in the 14th century.
Rector's Palace at Ul. Pred Dvorom 3
The rector's palace was built in the Gothic style, but it also has Renaissance and Baroque elements, harmoniously combining these elements.
Cathedral at Ul. kneza Damjana Jude 1
The cathedral was built on the site of several former cathedrals, including 7th, 10th and 11th century buildings, and their 12th century successor in the Romanesque style. The money to build the basilica was partially contributed by the English king Richard the Lion Heart, as a votive for having survived a shipwreck near the island of Lokrum in 1192 on his return from the Third Crusade.
Lokrum at Lokrum Ul
Austrian archduke (and short-lived Emperor of Mexico) Maximilian once had a holiday home on the island. A monastery and a botanical garden survive from his era. On the island's highest point at 96 metres (315 feet) above sea level stands Fort Royal Castle, which was built by the French during Napoleon's occupation of Croatia, though it was later named "Maximilian's Tower" by the Austrians.
