The session of the Council were held in the fortress, and the treasuries of the Republic and of the cathedral were transferred there, and so was all other wealth which was saved from the ruins and fires following the earthquake. The top of Revelin is a huge stone terrace, the largest in Dubrovnik, used in summer as a stage for many events of the summer festival. The Fortress of St. John, often called Mulo tower, is a complex monumental building on the southeastern side of the old city port, controlling and protecting its entrance. The first fort was built in mid 14th century, but it was modified on several occasions in the course of the 15th and 16th centuries, which can be seen in the triptych made by the painter Nikola Božidarevič in the Dominican monastery. The painting shows St. Blasius, the patron saint of Dubrovnik.

Great history/architecture/interesting lessons from each of your photos.. I generally don't like ceiling photos that much but this one is really cool! The sea's rich blue color is great and it's awesome how it's not faded into the sky.

Very nice that you've put this on the map for many of us. I just looked it up on Google earth and am a bit more educated because of your efforts. Thank you for the beautiful pictures and information.

Another wonderful pic and history lesson. I also often go out and read more about the things that you send to us, but looking up places on google earth is something I hadn't thought of..sounds like another interesting twist on the learning experience here :)

I love that you can't see a lot of TV antenna's and other overly modern intrusions. It looks like you're looking back in time.
