The walled city on the Adriatic, the old Republic of Ragusa, a merchant city-state that stayed free for centuries by law, trade, and diplomacy. Walk the unbroken ring of the city walls, read the whole republic along the marble Stradun, and go beyond the gates to the sea, the quarantine houses, and Mount Srd above. A small, dense old town made for walking, at your own pace.
