Offered in: English

I am a decorated war veteran of the war in Croatia and I would love to share with you the past and recent history in the period of the Homeland War in Croatia, as I personally witnessed it.

We will walk from the east to the west gates the Old City and I will lead you to the most significant historical landmarks with enthesis on the war period. See pick points of motor hits, buildings that were completely burnt to the ground and restored again, damaged statues, fountains, rooftops, and much more.

Listen to stories and facts during the period from 1991 of Dubrovnik's dramatic history, and learn how the people survived under constant shelling.

We will enter the Memorial Room of Dubrovnik's Defenders and witness the youth that gave their lives for the freedom of Dubrovnik. Browse at the numerous photos, video footage, displayed items of war, and much more.

Let me take you on a journey into Dubrovnik's recent past that was the most traumatic period in its long centuries of history!
