Dubrovnik is a major port city in Croatia that dates back to the Roman period. Dubrovnik lies at the very southern end of Croatia, and has a population of approximately 55,000. The city is widely known for the five historic fortresses (St. Lawrence, Revelin, Minceta Tower, Fort Bokar and St. John) that lie within the city, including three that make up part of the medieval walls that surround the city.

Dubrovnik was heavily bombed by the Serbian and Montenegrin Army during the war (1992 to 1995). Almost all of the damage has been covered over but if you look closely around the old town you can still see the damage from mortars in the cobblestone streets and bullet marks in the stone houses.
