1. Gornji Ugao Tower
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 482 reviews
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!

We went with Nikola two times on hiking tour. First to Hum peak, Tito's cave, Podhumlje and back to Komiza and the second was to the other side of Komiza bay. Wonderful hiking with Nikola who is a beautiful person with passion and great wide knowledge about history as he is also a history teacher. Vis is beautiful from any angle, but I would totally recommend that you take a tour with Nikola and explore it on foot.

A great place to get fantastic views over the city, Lotrscak tower is very interesting and I would definitely recommend a visit when in Zagreb, try and get there at 12pm when they fire the cannon also it's great to hear all the church bells going off at this time. Nice friendly staff also.

The views from the Bell Tower are glorious. The red tiled roofs of the houses and spires of churches in Old Town with the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea forming the background is a must see when visiting Zadar. The Bell Tower is open till 17:00 but I would recommend visiting it in the morning or at noon as the sun is still not over the sea and so you can take beautiful photos of the Adriatic Sea and the Old Town without the sun ruining your shot. The climb is quite steep, especially the first flight and the last flight, but there is enough room on the landings to take a break.
