History
Dubrovnik was the maritime Republic of Ragusa from the late Middle Ages through the early modern era, prospering on trade and diplomacy; much of the Old Town’s fabric dates from that period.
Conservation
The Old Town is sensitive to overtourism; small-group, private tours and buying local products help support sustainable visitation and local livelihoods.
