DUBROVNIK: ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY PRESERVED From its beginnings in the seventh century, Dubrovnik has proven its resilience as one of the foremost architectural gems on the Adriatic Sea. For nearly 450 years (1358 to 1806), Dubrovnik remained the only independent city along the Dalmatian Coast, while neighboring cities were conquered by the Hungarians, Venetians, Hapsburgs and French. Due to this period of independence, the city s historic quarters, which were mostly built in the 15 th and 16 th centuries, remained an intact and impressive representation of a medieval city that once rivaled Venice in art, wealth and naval capabilities. Dubrovnik s magnificent Old City has been restored following the earthquake of 1979 and the Serbo-Croatian War of 1991-1995, and is one of the world s most comprehensive restoration projects coordinated by UNESCO and the Institute for the Restoration of Dubrovnik. By special arrangement, the Institute s former director, Professor Vjekoslav Vierda, who has worked on a wide range of restoration projects in Dubrovnik over the past 25 years, will share his insights into this truly amazing undertaking and address future challenges facing Dubrovnik and other cities committed to preserving their architectural legacy.
