The Walled City of Dubrovnik, Croatia

Our first port of call on the good ship Spirit of the Norwegian Cruise Line was Dubrovnik. This ancient walled city was blockaded and shelled for seven months in 1991-92 by Yugoslav forces in an unsuccessful attempt to tear the city away from the new republic of Croatia and add it to Serbia. The heavily-damaged UNESCO World-Heritage Site has been completely restored. Coming off the ship we met Alan and Angie from New York State and we took a local bus into town and toured the old walled city together. Enjoy the photographs of this impressive old city.
