Dubrovnik, Croatia
DUBROVNIK is a beautifully preserved medieval fortified city. First settled by Roman refugees in the early seventh century and given the name
Ragusa, the town soon exploited its favourable position on the Adriatic with a maritime and commercial genius unmatched anywhere else in
Europe. By the mid-fourteenth century, having shaken off the yoke of first the Byzantines and then the Venetians, it had become a successful
and self-contained city state, its merchants trading far and wide. Dubrovnik fended off the attentions of the Ottoman Empire and continued to
prosper until 1667, when an earthquake devastated the city. Though the city-state survived, it fell into decline and, in 1808, was formally
dissolved by Napoleon. An eight-month siege by Yugoslav forces in the early 1990s caused much destruction, but the city swiftly recovered.
