After the war the city was rebuilt with traditional techniques and original materials; now the splendour of Dubrovnik is reflected in the white marble of its old town, one of the medieval villages best preserved in Croatia and in the world.
In recent years, Dubrovnik’s popularity has skyrocketed, thanks in part to its starring role in the hit television series Game of Thrones. The city served as the primary filming location for King’s Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Its iconic walls, fortresses, and picturesque streets became instantly recognizable to fans of the show, drawing a wave of international visitors eager to experience the magic of the real-life King’s Landing. From the imposing Lovrijenac Fortress to the charming Pile Gate, Dubrovnik offers fans and travelers alike a chance to walk through scenes straight out of the series while soaking in the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Dubrovnik’s blend of history, resilience, and modern pop culture appeal has made it a must-visit destination, captivating travelers with its breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea, its vibrant old town, and its status as a living piece of history and fantasy.
