Croatia: The Wall of Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a picturesque little gem encircled by high medieval walls that make me at least wish I was trailing across them in a velvet gown.  I'm enough of the student of history to know that I would not actually like day-to-day life in the Middle Ages very much, but I'm enough of a sucker for romance that I long for them any way.

Even modern artillery couldn't bring them down, although they were damaged when shelled during the Homeland War.

Lovely, yes?
