Over at the Daily Post, the Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is ‘Street Life’. Cheri puts the challenge to us in this way:
‘For this challenge, document the movement (or stillness) of a street: tell a story with your snapshot, capture a scene that reveals a bit about a place, or simply show us where you live — or a path you often take.’
With this in mind, here is my story entitled, ‘The Streets of Old City Dubrovnik’.
………………………………………………….
The beautiful country of Croatia (once part of Yugoslavia together with Bosnia and Slovenia until declaring independence in the 1990s) is home to the Old City of Dubrovnik. Otherwise famously known as ‘The Pearl of the Adriatic’, this medieval walled city is nestled on the Dalmatian coast; from the 13th century onwards it became an important Mediterranean sea power.
Dubrovnik is home to beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries and palaces, all of which were severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667 and then again in more modern times by the Serbian attack against the city in 1991.
After a ceasefire was called, and due to its great concern for the damage done, UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization) named Dubrovnik a ‘World Heritage Site in Danger’ and immediately coordinated a major restoration programme. Click here to read more about this programme and for a more comprehensive history of the Old City.
We were privileged to have been able to visit Dubrovnik in 2012.
Approaching by a narrow, twisting road which drops down to the Old City and its hidden streets, I was able to take this shot. This was the moment when I first caught sight of it, having been blocked by the tree-lined road until then. Stunned into silence, I immediately understood why Dubrovnik is known as ‘The Pearl of the Adriatic’.
My photo doesn’t do it justice, it is simply breathtaking.

Once inside the city, climbing the city walls gives a magnificent view of the rooftops. The buildings seem to be hiding the streets as if protecting them, closing in on themselves. What secrets lie there I wonder, what stories are to be told?

Climbing back down from the city walls, you can get a closer view of the streets below, beckoning to be explored.

Back down in the streets of the Old City, there are numerous alleyways at every twist and turn lined with cafes, restaurants and shops.
There are steps to be climbed leading to medieval churches and monasteries. On the day we were there a jazz band, having travelled all the way from Washington DC, were preparing to play later that evening as part of a jazz festival.

Coming back down some steps after exploring a church, we were greeted by this welcoming cafe at the bottom. It was lunchtime, so perfect timing!
Continuing to walk through the streets you will soon enough be led to the medieval harbour and out to the crystalline Adriatic sea.
Then, by evening, the streets are bathed in a soft, warming light.
In the streets of Old City Dubrovnik you will see many stray cats. They are in surprisingly good condition as the business owners take good care of them. If you don’t mind cats, one of them might even come up on your lap for a cuddle. I didn’t mind at all and I don’t know who was more happy, me or the cat!

There are many more photos to share from our trip to Croatia but that will have to wait for another time, should you care to see them. I think I will have to include a post of its own dedicated to all the cat friends we made over there! For now, I hope that you enjoyed this walk with me through the streets of the Old City of Dubrovnik.

What a fab tour of a beautiful city Sherri. Number 3 is my favourite shot – almost looks like Lisbon in that one. I was in Dubrovnik in 1971 on a European backpacking holiday with my best friend. Needless to say we didn’t get many photographs, but I recognise that first image as one from where we stood hitching a ride down the coast! We couldn’t find a camp-site so had slept on a park bench just outside the city walls and we were awoken by two armed policemen asking us to move on. Well, it was dawn, so we were happy to oblige 🙂 Good memories. I ought to revisit this coastline and see how much it has changed. And now I can probably afford a better bed!

Thank you Jude, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, that must have been a fun trip! Croatia is still very ‘old European’ even now, with a lovely ‘old world’ feel to it. Yes, that first image would be very familiar to you you don’t forget that in a hurry! What fun to be backpacking. I always wanted to do something like that but never did. You were brave sleeping on a bench like that!
It is a wonderful place to visit. Eldest son had visited and told us all about it. It’s not the cheapest but we got a good deal at a half-board place in a delightful town only 10 mins away from the Old City. Going to have to get back to you on the name, it’s eluding me right now, but it was lovely to walk around.
I would be so curious to know what you think of it now if you were ever to go back there. And yes, no sleeping outside the city gates on a bench this time 🙂

Ahh, so glad you enjoyed the pics, thanks so much. I wanted to try and create the feel of the place. It’ s very different and very ‘old European’. There are no fast food places, can you believe it? One of the few in the world I’m guessing! The sea is gorgeous isn’t it? I was so chuffed to have been able to see a different sea. Does that make sense??

You know Marylin, we would have so much fun sitting at that very table just people watching. That is just what I did, with little kitty on my lap. It was raining a little, then the sun came out and it was so wonderful just to sit there, enjoying a glass of wine and the most wonderful homemade pizza. It was idyllic. Those very cafes you have spoken of. Croatia is very ‘old European’. I half expected to see Ernest Hemingway sitting at one of those tables, smoking and drinking and typing away on his portable typewriter…

The buildings and architecture are wonderful — they look as if they’re close to dropping off in the sea. I can almost hear the clatter of dishes and voices of tourists, as they roam through the streets looking for a café, and the smell of food drifting through the air. Mmmm, nice. I like this.

So glad you enjoyed taking this tour with me Pat, thank you so much. Croatia is very quaint, reminded us of how Europe used to be in the 50s. It is a really unique place and we are so glad to have been able to visit. How you describe the ‘clatter of dishes and voices of tourists’ and the ‘smell of food drifting through the air’ is just what it is like. You’ve nailed it one! Where we actually stayed was 10 minutes by bus away so it was nice to get back there as parts of the Old City did get crowded but nothing like I imagine it gets in the summer (we went in early May, just as the tourist season opened). Discovering what was down each alleyway was a delight. That, and the incredible history of the place makes for an unforgettable experience. 🙂

Thank you very much Rachel! So glad you enjoyed them. Yes, no cars inside, certainly not where everybody walked. Outside the Old City (you enter through a huge open walled ‘gate’) there are many cars and I can imagine it gets super busy at the height of the tourist season, but we went in early May ahead of that. I’m glad we did. It was wonderful to explore all the different alleyways and of course all the old buildings. A fascinating place 😉
