Dubrovnik was founded in the 7
th century and has frequently changed hands though warfare. The most recent siege was in 1991 after the break up of Yugoslavia where the Serbian-
Montenegrin's shelled the city for seven months before being over taken by the Croatian Army. The city was quickly rebuilt after the siege.

I found a unlocked door as I toured around the old town and it led to this great view.

I stumbled upon these three Croats and they were happy to let me play volleyball with them for the rest of the afternoon.

These are the shells/
mortars/
grenades that my hostel owner found laying around after the siege. The biggest shell is 122 mm in diameter (~ 5 inches!)
