War Photo Limited, War Photography Museum in the Old Town of Dubrovnik, Croatia
War Photo Limited is a museum in the Old Town that displays photographs from conflict zones and their impact on civilian populations. The collection comes from international photojournalists who documented the realities and human costs of wars.
The museum was established to preserve visual records of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. It was created to ensure these important photographic documents would survive for future generations to understand.
The space displays works by photographers focused on how conflicts affect people and change daily life in affected regions. Visitors encounter personal stories and moments that often remain invisible in mainstream media coverage.
The building sits near the main street of the Old Town and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should allow enough time to absorb and process the content presented in the exhibitions.
The museum also features works from conflict zones around the world, not just local history. These rotating exhibitions connect experiences across different regions and reveal how war creates similar impacts everywhere.

The old town of Dubrovnik sits on the Adriatic coast and shows buildings from the 13th to the 17th centuries. The city was an independent maritime republic for hundreds of years and developed its own architecture that combines Venetian and local elements. The city walls enclose a compact core of palaces, churches and public squares built on limestone. The main street Stradun runs straight through the town and connects the main gates. At both ends stand fountains from the 15th century that once secured the water supply. The Rector's Palace shows how the elected rulers lived and worked, while Sponza Palace once served as a customs house and mint. The city wall itself is walkable and offers views of the sea and the rooftops of the old town. Several fortresses reinforced the defenses: Fort Lovrijenac perches on a rock outside the walls, Revelin Fortress protected the eastern approach, and the sea wall ends at St. John's Fortress, which now houses a maritime museum. Lokrum Island lies just a short boat ride away and was once a monastic site. Today plants from different climates grow there. The beaches around Dubrovnik often sit in small coves between rocks, where the water is clear and deep. The Dominican Monastery and Franciscan Monastery preserve art and manuscripts from the republic's era. The cathedral was rebuilt in baroque style after an earthquake in the 17th century destroyed the older church.
