Join us on this splendid tour of the Balkan Capitals.
The very first mentions of the ancient city of Ragusa, now known as Dubrovnik, date back to the 7th century AD – Learn about the history of this wonderful Adriatic city, which survived the rule of Venice and the 1991 bombings and became a very important tourist hub. Dubrovnik, in Italian or Latin Ragusa, is one of Croatia’s most important centers both historically and culturally. Ragusa has always been known for its maritime trade. In history the Republic of Ragusa is the only city that at the same time was also a state. During the 15th and 16th centuries Ragusa reached its apogee. It was the center of the Croatian language, writers and literature. Many poets, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scientists lived in Ragusa. Luko Paljetak, a Croatian writer, called Ragusa “the most beautiful place in the world. Without Ragusa a piece would be missing from the puzzle of the world.”
