It was built back in 1969 and was enthusiastically used by millions of visitors who wanted to enjoy the most beautiful panoramic views.  Imperial Fortress was built on this privileged spot,  in the early 19th century. 

 

Porporela

Can be a lonely spot, but that’s why we like it a lot. You can sit there on a bench and enjoy the moment. Although, Porporela is a local beach during the day. When night falls this place becomes one of the top spots for couples. You probably ask “why?” – it’s romantic, dark and quiet. Porporela offers a view of the Island of Lokrum, which seems to be within your grasp during the calm sea.

 

Streets of  The Old  City Dubrovnik

Surrounded by the ancient forts, the Dubrovnik streets provide the perfect illusion of the romantic, well-protected city from an ancient time. Here you’ll see interesting stone walls and sights that give the mystic feel perfect for taking wedding photos. There is no better way to get a first impression of one of the most beautiful cities then strolling down its famous promenade Stradun.

The magnificent stone and nature will take your breath away as it’s the oldest monument in Dubrovnik. It was rebuilt many times, but was always made stronger and bigger keeping its original look.
