Having served with distinction in the Croatian war, I invite you to delve into the past and recent history of the Homeland War in Croatia, as I experienced it firsthand.
We will traverse from the eastern to the western entrances of the Old City, where I will guide you through its notable historical sites with a special focus on the war era. Witness remnants of motor strikes, structures that were burnt down and later rebuilt, damaged sculptures, fountains, rooftops, and more.
Hear narratives and details about Dubrovnik’s dramatic history from 1991, understanding how the inhabitants persevered amidst continual bombardment.
We will step into the Memorial Room of Dubrovnik’s Defenders and honour the young lives sacrificed for Dubrovnik’s freedom. Take a look at the multitude of photos, video clips, war artefacts and so much more.
Permit me to take you on a trip back to a challenging phase of Dubrovnik’s history, a period that was arguably the most distressing in its long and storied past!
