An excavation on the site of the 'Gornji ugao' tower, in the north-west corner of the walled city of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, uncovered evidence for a foundry established in the second half of the 15th century and largely producing armaments. It is a rare example of this type of industrial site, and its position within the city walls makes it unique. Excavation has provided information on the technical subdivision and spatial logic of the site. Activity at the foundry ceased after the Great Earthquake in 1667, which devastated the entire city, although part of the site continued in use as a foundry, on a smaller and more improvised scale.

We really enjoyed our tour of the archaeological site of the old foundry and metal works of dubrovnik.to find it we entered the old town by the back Buza gate after coming down from the cable car and turned immediately right and climbed up some steps to the base of the Minceta tower.up a flight of steps is the entrance doorway.our tour took about half an hour and our guide was enthusiastic about his subject and explained how the site had been excavated, how the finds and evidence were pieced together and how it was connected to the history of dubrovnik and it was certainly a feat of engineering and ingenuity for it's time.The site is mostly underground as it has been covered over by a baseball pitch to protect it.Definitely great if you are interested in history/archaeology. Quirky and unique and something a little bit different!

War Photo Limited is an exhibition centre of war and conflict photojournalism situated inside Dubrovnik's historic old city, spread over 2 floors the 350m2 (3800 sq ft) displays photographic exhibits by world renown photojournalists covering recent and ongoing regional and global conflicts.

I visited this rate and unusual Museum that displays photographic exhibits by renowned photojournalists who covered recent and earlier regional and global conflicts. It's commendable that these photographers risking their lives and career captured such traumatic and frightening images from remote areas to sensitize the world about the futility and meaningless injustices that happened and continue to happen in this insane world. There is permanent exhibition of iconic images titled The End of Yugoslavia , photographs by Alfred Yaghobzadeh from Iran-Iraq war, special images and narration from Tim Page from NAM conflict. This is a must visit for any traveller who could understand how wars and violent conflicts lead too unimaginable human agony and why world deserve peace. There is admission ticket and photography is allowed inside.The brochure in english is quite informative. Located at the entrance of Antuninska in a lane at main street Stradan, not to be missed.

We were interested in the whole history of Dubrovnik - ancient and more recent events. Sobering to see how young these men were and comparing them to ourselves in the 90's brings it home.
