Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Croatia

What had been a derelict memorial site was spotted by a group of astronomy enthusiasts. After more than two years of renovation, the interior space became a sky observation tower, inaugurated in July 2009. A fun and interactive environment, specially designed for children, to arouse their natural curiosity about science. The proximity of Mount Biokovo protects the sky from light pollution. You can admire the stars, Saturn and its rings, and learn about the fundamentals of the solar system.

The ramparts are certainly the first building to visit in the old Dubrovnik. Built between the th and th centuries, the walls protected the city for hundreds of years. They encircled the entire old town with their 1940 m long. The book is impressive: walls, incredibly conserved, can be 25 m high and up to 6 m thick. The walls of the city have an inner part and an external part. The first part forms a smaller enclosure with ten semicircular bastions built by the famous Florentine architect Michelozzo Michelozzi. The second part has five bastions, three circular towers and twelve square or rectangular towers, as well as a huge fortress, the Fort Sveti Ivan (Saint John) on the port. From the top of the ramparts you will have a fantastic view of the old town.
