Fort Saint Stephen, Dubrovnik

Fort Saint Stephen, though one of the most recent additions to the city's impressive fortifications, still stands as a testament to Dubrovnik's long history of building and maintaining protective walls. Construction of the city walls began all the way back in the 7th century, and this ambitious endeavor continued for almost five centuries.

This 17th-century fortification is a relatively young addition to Dubrovnik's fortifications. While the city's walls have evolved and expanded over centuries, each new addition has been a nod to the importance of safeguarding Dubrovnik from potential threats.

Fort Saint Stephen's more recent construction serves as a reminder of Dubrovnik's enduring dedication to fortifying its walls and protecting its heritage. It is a compelling piece of the city's history and a significant part of its ongoing legacy.
