Experience It! Dubrovnik A group of refugees from Epidaurum (today s Cavtat) founded Dubrovnik in the first half of the 7th century. After being under the protection of the Byzantine Empire and falling under the sovereignty of Venice, Dubrovnik ruled itself as a free state, and the Republic of Dubrovnik, and flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries to become Venice s chief shipping rival. The beginning of the end for the Republic arrived, care of a devastating earthquake in 1667 that claimed more than 5,000 citizens. The Republic met its official demise in 1808 when it was abolished and integrated in to the Illyrian provinces after Napoleon s armies conquered the city. Since 1808, Dubrovnik has fallen under attack and been occupied and annexed several times, most recently as part of the second Yugoslavia ( ). Dubrovnik, however, has survived and continues to reign as one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities on the entire Adriatic, with its medieval walls that surround its old city, protecting the ancient buildings contained within. This is Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site unlike any other. Please Note: IDENTIFICATION Passports are required for this tour at your expense.
