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.
