Dubrovnik
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dubrovnik is
an historic city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south
of Croatia.
The
prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime
trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, it became
the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported
by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable
level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Ragusa was one of the centres of the development of the Croatian
language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights,
painters, mathematicians, physicists and other.
Ragusa
was founded in the 7th century on a rocky island named Laus, which
provided shelter for Latin refugees from the nearby city of Epidaurus,
today's Cavtat also Ragusavecchia. Some time later a settlement
of Slavic people grew at the foot of the forested Srd hill.
Today
Dubrovnik is a tranquil touristic and cultural center hosting
many musical, art and theater events year round. The annual Dubrovnik
Summer Festival is a cultural event when keys of the city are
given to artists who entertain Dubrovnik's population and their
guests for entire month with live plays, concerts, and games.
