The Old City of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia is very old.
Dating back to the 7th century, it has been built and re-built over hundreds of years.
It has a wide variety of churches and other buildings —
Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
The restored roof tiles look good
Against the old stone.
The city walls were built in the 14th and 15th centuries
And encircle what is now the ‘modern’ city of Dubrovnik.
About 42,000 people live in those old houses and flats!

“The restored roof tiles look good

Yes, they sure do! I love the old mixed with the new. I love the look of decay because to me it’s a reminder of the rich history of a place.
Thanks so much for sharing the beauty, my friend. Have a fantastic week!

This is definitely somewhere that I would enjoy visiting. Just look at all those lovely red roof tiles. It’s so easy for people in Europe to visit these gorgeous places, not far to travel. For me in Canada, it’s a long way and also it costs so much to travel across the Atlantic. But maybe one day I’ll see Dubrovnik, I certainly hope so!

I like to imagine the people living in those old stone buildings. I think how all our lives are so different and maybe also similar. I like the bright rooftops and the neutral stonework in your photos..

Mind-boggling to think of all those people actually living their daily lives in buildings that ancient (even if restored]. Of course, we live in the Pacific Northwest corner of the USA, where 150 year old houses would be rarities.
