Biser Jadrana među drevnim zidinama Dubrovnik, centar najjužnije regije Dalmacije i njen najpoznatiji predstavnik, u samom je vrhu liste najlepših gradova sveta – izvor inspiraci- je za umetnike, mesto koje vole članovi kraljev - skih porodica i svetski džetseteri. „Oni koji tra - že raj na zemlji moraju doci u Dubrovnik“, pisao je Džordž Bernard Šo, zadivljen lepotom grada čiji su netaknuti, 1.940 metara dugi odbrambe - ni zidovi pod zaštitom Uneska. Na najjužnijem delu Hrvatske, sa vekovima nasleđa stvorenog umecem najboljih graditelja i umetnika, Du - brovnik uživa u toploj mediteranskoj klimi sa šumarcima limuna, narandži i mandarina, ra - skošnim palmama i agavama koje krase rene- sansni parkovi i cvetni vrtovi srednjovekovnih kamenih palata i nenametljivih manastira. Gradske zidine starog Dubrovnika obuhvataju savršeno očuvan kompleks objekata u centru grada, koji datiraju iz različitih perioda od 7. veka, pa nadalje. Pored zidova, jednako je va - žan i Stradun, glavna gradska ulica, a od dru - gih važnih lokaliteta tu su Knežev dvor, koji je bio sedište gradske vlastele; crkva posvecena zaštitniku grada Svetom Vlahu; Saborna crkva, veliki manastiri, zgrada Stare carine i Gradska kuca. Preko puta je Korčula, ostrvo sa najviše legen - di i spomenika, a zajedno sa Lokrumom i Mlje - tom i najšumovitije u Hrvatskoj. Daleko u otvo - renim vodama je ostrvo Lastovo, 50 kvadratnih kilometara peščanih plaža i nekoliko manjih ostrva raštrkanih sa obe strane. Uz Pelješac je zeleni Mljet sa svojih 100 kvadratnih kilometa - ra prekrivenih gustom borovom šumom, špilja- ma i jezerima, brojnim plažama i nacionalnim parkom na zapadnom delu ostrva.

The pearl of the Adriatic between ancient ramparts Dubrovnik, marking the centre of Croatia’s sout - hernmost region of Dalmatia, represents the top of the list of the world’s most beautiful cities – as a source of inspiration for artists and a destina- tion favoured by members of royal families and the world’s jet setters. “Those who seek paradise on Earth must come to Dubrovnik”, wrote George Bernard Shaw, who was smitten by the beauty of this city, with its untouched, 1,940-metre-long defensive walls that are today under UNESCO protection. Occupying Croatia’s most southerly stretch of coastline, preserving centuries of heri- tage created by the noble hands of the finest bui - lders and artists, Dubrovnik basks in a warm Me- diterranean climate and boasts groves of lemon, orange and tangerine trees, sumptuous palms and agaves, and is adorned by Renaissance parks and the flowering gardens of medieval sto- ne palaces and modest monasteries. The Dubrovnik city walls encapsulate the perfe- ctly preserved complex of sacral and secular bu- ildings in the city centre, dating back to various periods from the 7 th century onwards. Apart from the walls, Stradun, the city‘s main street, is equ- ally important, while other important sites inclu- de the Rector‘s Palace (Knežev dvor), which was
the seat of the city‘s rulers, the church dedicated to the city‘s patron St Blaise, the Assumption Cat - hedral, there large monasteries, the Old Customs building and City Hall. Facing Dubrovnik across the water is Korču - la, the island with the most legends and monu- ments, which - together with Lokrum and Mljet - is among the most forested Croatian islands. Further out in the open waters is the island of La- stovo, with 50 kilometres of sandy beaches and several smaller islands scattered on either side. Next to Pelješac is the green Mljet, with its 100 square kilometres covered in dense pine forests, caves and lakes, while the western part of the island boasts many beaches and a national park.
