     Nestled on the Adriatic coast, 
Dubrovnik is a beautifully preserved fortified town. Its ancient medieval walls 
contain a sparkling white Old City, filled with 15th century churches, peaceful 
Franciscan cloisters, a cathedral with works by Raphael and Titian, and a 
fascinating Maritime Museum. One of Dubrovnik's main attractions is the 
sea--swim from the quiet, rocky beaches on either end of the city, or catch a 
boat to the wooded island of Lokrum nearby.  |
