St John Fort
With towers going back to the fourteenth century and the main building dating to the sixteenth century, Dubrovnik's St John Fort (Sveti Ivan) is one of the city's most spectacular medieval defenses. The city's marine museum is now housed in St John Fort.
This maritime museum, housed in the vaulted chambers of St John Fort, depicts the history of navigation in Dubrovnik through ship models, maritime objects, and paintings. A small cave-like area within the fort houses the former workshop of painter Duro Politika. Pulitika's work is on display here, while the larger front room frequently holds local artist exhibitions.
The Adriatic Sea's vegetation and biodiversity are shown in this little aquarium. The Institute for Marine and Coastal Research at the University of Dubrovnik runs the aquarium, which also functions as a rehabilitation center for injured turtles.
The quantity of retail and other companies in St John Fort is increasing as the city grows. Fort St. John is a fantastic area to come and play, with a diverse range of cultural activities and outdoor activities. Fort St. John boasts excellent recreation facilities and, as "The Energetic City," hosts hundreds of events each year that appeal to people of all ages and interests. Come see for yourself Fort St. John's dynamic spirit!
