| | Dubrovnik on a Silver Platter - Travelogue |
 | | Walking the city walls of Dubrovnik, you are served history on a silver platter, a history shaped by shrewd diplomats. |
 | | At Pile Gate, a good starting point, a white poster depicts how Grad Dubrovnik, the old city, was attacked by the Yugoslav army in 1991-92, distinguishing between direct hits, shrapnel and fires, with an abundance of tiny triangles to symbolize all the damaged roofs. |
 | | Dubrovnik, until 1918 named Ragusa, is guarded by St. Blaise, the city's patron saint appearing everywhere, including a little niche above the entrance to Pile Gate. |
