Patrimonio mondiale Unesco, la Città Vecchia è senza dubbio la parte più suggestiva ed affascinante di Dubrovnik.
Camminando per le strette e romantiche vie cittadine, non si rimarrà colpiti solamente dagli affascinanti scorci urbani, ma anche dall’atmosfera speciale, e per certi versi mistica, che trasuda dalle antiche mura cittadine.
Si sarà pervasi e sedotti dal profumo di erbe aromatiche, dai colori dei panni stesi al sole ad asciugare fra le case, dal rumorio costante dei locali nelle vie strette ed operose.
La Old Town croata deve molto della sua atmosfera anche al contrasto tra i tetti rossi, ideati da architetti italiani e il blu del mare.
Il miglior modo per sentire la città è immergersi tra la folla e lasciarsi trasportare in un viaggio indimenticabile attraverso il dedalo delle stradine che cavalcano gli eoni del tempo.
Tutto il nucleo storico della città è circondato dai bastioni medievali che creano una perfetta illusione di impenetrabilità da altri tempi.
In questo luogo magico, che ha ottenuto la maggior parte della sua popolarità negli ultimi anni per essere stato scelto come luogo dove sono state girate alcune parti della famosa serie televisiva Game of Thrones, sembra davvero di vivere in un epoca diversa.
Il cuore della città è tagliato in due dallo Stradun un ampio viale lastricato e tirato a lucido, su cui si affacciano, in rigoroso ordine, palazzi con linee omogenee e finestre di color verde scuro.
L’omogeneità architettonica rende questo viale una meraviglia per lo sguardo che si perde fino in fondo alla strada, spingendoti a coglierne i dettagli.
Lo Stradun termina in una deliziosa piazza circondata da alcuni degli scorci storici più importanti della città.
Qui si stagliano maestose la Cattedrale cittadina, la Chiesa di San Biagio, il Palazzo Sponza – archivio cittadino, il Palazzo del Rettore, i campanili e la colonna di Orlando.
Mentre percorro con calma lo Stradun, assaporando ogni angolo e ammirando in questo piccolo scrigno racchiuso tra possenti mura i numerosi monumenti di straordinaria bellezza, esempi tra i più fulgidi dell’architettura tardo-medievale e neo-rinascimentale, indosso un look d’ispirazione marinière, in un mood elegante ma allo stesso tempo comodo e easy.

Jutting out into the Adriatic Sea with a backdrop of rugged limestone mountains, Dubrovnik Old Town is known as one of the world’s finest and most perfectly preserved medieval cities in the world.
Since 1979, Dubrovnik is under UNESCO protection.
Today, its walls still enclose Dubrovnik’s historic center.

Today, its walls still enclose Dubrovnik’s historic center.
Dubrovnik’s Baroque churches, monasteries, and palaces, its Renaissance fountains, and facades are all intertwined with gleaming wide marble-paved squares, steep cobbled streets, and houses, all of which have also remained unchanged for centuries.
Old City is, by all means, the most interesting and the most attractive part of Dubrovnik.
Old City is, by all means, the most interesting and the most attractive part of Dubrovnik.
While walking through the romantic city lanes you will not only see the most interesting sights but also feel the specific, somewhat mystic atmosphere rising from the ancient stone walls.
The smell of aromatic herbs, the whiteness of the sheets drying in the sun between the houses, the constant chatter of the locals on the narrow, busy streets… the best way to learn, to feel the city is to merge with the crowd and let it take you on an unforgettable journey through the maze of Dubrovnik city streets and through centuries.
The entire historical city core is surrounded by the medieval ramparts, creating the perfect illusion of a well-protected settlement from some other, past times.
You’ll spend the bulk of your time within the 15th-century ring of fortifications, in the small square half-mile of gleaming medieval space bisected by 300-metre-long “Stradun”.

You will see the City Cathedral, the Church of St. Blaise, the Sponza Palace – the city archive, the Rector’s Palace, the bell towers and Orlando’s Column.
I calmly walk across the Stradun, savoring every corner and admiring the numerous monuments of extraordinary beauty in this small chest enclosed by mighty walls, finest examples of the late Medieval and early Renaissance architecture, wearing a nautical-inspired look , with an elegant yet comfy and casual mood.
Rinata da uno dei più sanguinosi conflitti su suolo europeo degli ultimi cent’anni, è una città incantevole da visitare, dove il bianco della pietra e i colori tenui dei tetti creano un contrasto suggestivo con il blu del mare. Le sue imponenti mura costituiscono un piacevole percorso a piedi da cui è possibile sbirciare dall’alto la città vecchia, con le sue splendide chiese, palazzi, piazze e vie. Dopodiché visitate gli interessanti musei della città, concedetevi una pausa di relax in una delle sue belle spiagge e se vi resta tempo partite per una emozionante escursione nei dintorni. – https://www.croazia.info/dubrovnik
