Minceta Fort


It was getting hot now




By the time we completed the walls, it was getting very crowded! It was a very interesting walk on the city walls. The views of the orange roof tops and the various churches and buildings from the elevated height of the walls and the forts were breathtaking and very colourful. This certainly was the highlight of Dubrovnik old town. The 150kuna was well spent!

We took 2 hours to complete the walls at a very slow pace, enjoying the scenery and the beauty of this old town. After coming down from the city walls, visited the Pile Gate shortly and took a few shots.
Enroute to Pile Gate. We did not climb the stairs. Instead, we used the ramp.
