Fort Lovrijenac

Fort Lovrijenac is a magnificent and towering cliff-top fort situated outside the medieval city walls of Dubrovnik. It is the last beautiful historical site in Croatia in this list. It guards the western entrance to the city from the Adriatic Sea, making it one of Dubrovnik's most spectacular structures.

The citizens of the Republic of Dubrovnik may have built Fort Lovrijenac in the 11th century to ward against an impending Venetian onslaught. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize Lovrijenac Fortress as the Red Keep in King's Landing, the Seven Kingdoms' capital. The tournament held in celebration of King Joffrey's name day in the second series was filmed here.

The parapets that formerly served to defend the city have been turned into some of Europe's most prestigious theatre stages, famous for staging Shakespeare's "Hamlet". The stronghold can be visited in conjunction with a ticket to the city walls. The views from the summit are spectacular and should not be missed!

The fort is a picturesque 25-minute walk from the city center via Ul. Andrija Hebranga. Similarly, a car journey via Zagrebaka Ul will take you roughly 10-15 minutes.
