Some episodes of Game of Thrones were filmed in Dubrovnik. Since the show gets a bit explicit at times, it generated controversy. | |
Below: the Sponza Palace, seat of the old Ragusa Republic that once ruled the Dalmatian coast. | |
Here, let me give you a hand. | |
Left: Rector's Palace | |
It's got an intact wall with a complete walkway. Of course you want to walk it! | It was warm that day and I was wearing a shirt that didn't wick moisture well. I got back to the ship looking like I'd swum over from Venice. |
Left: Croatian flag. Below: The harbor. The old city is beyond the low saddle in the lower right photo. |

Below: The Tudjman Bridge spans a narrow, almost fjord-like estuary
(though of course not glacial) north of Dubrovnik. Unless Slartibartfast was practicing here (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Look it up) |
