Dubrovnik is the southernmost city in Croatia. Its history is marked by its strategic position at the entrance to the navigation channels formed by Croatia’s 1200 islands. It thus evolved to become a crossroads between East and West, a free city-state using diplomacy to maintain its place on the important trade route that was the Adriatic Sea.
