Lovrijenac Fortress

The Lovrijenac Fortress is situated on a rocky cliff above the Adriatic Sea (next to the outer western walls) and is one of Dubrovnik's most iconic sights. Its primary role was a defensive one. It is a historic symbol of resistance to the Venetian Republic.

This fortification is triangular in shape and has three terraces. The walls facing the sea are as wide as 12 m, while those facing the city are just 60 cm thick.
