century Dubrovnik ship that contributed to the
city’s rise as a formidable maritime trading

cluding 230 large transoceanic ships, tended by
some 7,000 seamen, shipbuilders, and shipown‐
ers.
Dubrovnik has witnessed the arrival of many
rulers and conquerors, both real and fictional.

guided adventures. You'll also find several Game
of Thrones-themed shops where you can indulge
