All flight information on www.aeroflot.ru.”
Dubrovnik has a superb history. An independent, merchant republic for 700 years (cancelled by Napoleon in 1806), it traded with Turkey and India in the East (with a consul in Goa, India) and had trade representatives in Africa (in the Cape Verde Islands). It even had diplomatic relations with the English court in the middle ages (there is a letter from Elizabeth I on display in the Town Museum in Dubrovnik).
Its standing was such that powerful and rich Venice was envious of this Croatian-Slav city. Early Dubrovnik the primary history of Dubrovnik frequently concentrates on a tiny settlement on the situation of Dubrovnik in ancient times ; this settlement, in reality was on and island called Laus which was, at that point, seperated from the mainland by a bog.
There had been also a bigger Greek settlement close by in what was called Epidauros (present-day Cavtat). An invasion by Slavs in the seventh century annihilated Epidauros and other communities in the area, causing inhabitants to escape to Laus. Laus at last modified to Raus which became Ragusa – which is the crucial name for Dubrovnik. Around this time, Dubrovnik itself was set up by Croats (the name deriving from dub that suggests oak and dubrava which means wood – as expected, the settlement was by an oak forest). Ragusa and Dubrovnik at last combined when the marshland between was filled in. Another gossip about Dubrovnik’s history which is putting on the kilos is that there was basically a giant Greek settlement where Dubrovnik is situated today and the city actually has Greek origins.
Growth and wealth Dubrovnik expanded significantly from the 9th century and as a part of the Byzantine Empire, so by the twelve th century it was even thought of as sort of a challenge to Venice and its Republic. It came under attack from Venice, and from 1205 to 1358 came under its rule.
The old city was completed in the 13th century and remains just about unvaried to the current day. Tall ramparts surround it and there are only 2 entrances to the old city which lead on to the Stradun, the city’s promenade. One of the best pleasures for many visitors is to have a drink in one of the close by refrectories and watch the world go by, while they themselves are being watched by the city patron, St. Blaise, or Sveti Vlaho as the people next door call him. In 1358 the Bargain of Zadar saw Dubrovnik stop being under Venice’s rule and instead become Croat-Hungarian, even though it was regarded as having a good deal of liberty.
From the thirtheenth century onwards, Dubrovnik had seen it endure several urgent developments which raised its eminence. The Ordinances of 1272 had laid groundwork for political and legal life in the city. From the 14th century trade with the local area flourished and the city also blossomed with industry and culturally. Dubrovnik had several advanced multinationals for that time – a pharmacy was opened in 1317 and an orphanage in 1432. Downfall of the Republic Dubrovnik was hit by a quake on six Apr 1667, which killed about five thousand inhabitants and destroyed masses of the city, though the city walls stayed standing.
The city much weakened, by 1806 when Napolean enterd Dubrovnik there had been small resistance. The Republic of Ragusa was officially melted in 1808 after Napolean’s fall, Dubrovnik became part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1815. Dubrovnik in Yugoslavia and Croatia After World War I, Dubrovnik became part of Croatia which itself was a part of the Dominion of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes which became Yugoslavia after World War 2. Dubrovnik was subject ed to substantial shelling by Serbs in the struggle in 199 half in a siege that lasted seven months. The Old City suffered considered damage, but was quickly revived to its prior beauty.
