You step through the Ploče Gate and the city inhales — sea air rubbing shoulders with warm limestone underfoot. The Stradun slides past you: wide, pale, and worn by centuries of foot traffic while the Adriatic presses against the harbor, daring you toward Lovrijenac’s scarred cliffs and the view over red roofs.
