On this photography we can see the city Dubrovnik in Croatia. Dubrovnik is one of the most famous cities in Croatia and it is a very well known summer resort. It has also a great harbour where comes very big ships and ferries. Here is something about history of Dubrovnik which was taken from it's official site: "Dubrovnik was founded in the first half of the 7th century by a group of refugees from Epidaurum (today's Cavtat). They established their settlement at the island and named it Laus. Opposite of that location, at the foot of Srđ Mountain, Slavs developed their own settlement under the name of Dubrovnik (named by "Dub" - type of wood). The settlements were separated by a channel which was filled in 12th century, present Placa or Stradun, and since than the two settlements have been united. At that time the city walls started to be built as a protection from different enemies ( Arabs, Venetian, Macedonians, Serbs, etc.), who wanted to conquer Dubrovnik."
