| Founded around the 7th century by the refugees fleeing from Epidaurium (now Cavtat), Dubrovnik has a treasure trove of history within its medieval walls. The Byzantine, Hungarians and Venetians left their wealthy legacy here and in the middle ages it was almost Venice's equal as a trading seaport.By the look of those fortressed walls merchants took protection of their wealth seriously. |

They are still standing-they don't build them like that anymore!
