About Dubrovnik.org
Dubrovnik.org is dedicated to bringing you hand-picked international news of the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. From time to time we will also post pictures of Dubrovnik if we find them worth sharing with you.
Dubrovnik (Latin Ragusa) is a port and one of the most prominent tourist resorts on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, and the center of the Dubrovnik-Neretva county, positioned at 42.39N Lat and 18.04E Long. It has the nickname “Pearl of the Adriatic”.
The city of Ragusa/Dubrovnik was based on maritime trade, and in the Middle Ages it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state that rivalled Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the Latin/Slavic Ragusa/Dubrovnik achieved a remarkable level of development during the 15th and 16th century. Dubrovnik was one of the centers of the development of the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.
