Fort Revelin, 16th century fortress in Dubrovnik, Croatia

Fort Revelin stands on the eastern side of Dubrovnik with thick limestone walls protecting both the Old Harbor and the city entrance.

Construction of the fortress began in 1538 under architect Antonio Ferramolino, requiring 11 years to complete while all other building projects in Dubrovnik stopped.

The fortress terrace, the largest stone-paved space in Dubrovnik, serves as a performance venue during the Dubrovnik Summer Festival from July to August.

Visitors can access the fortress through guided tours that include the Archaeological Museum, featuring exhibitions of medieval sculptures and archaeological findings.

The fortress remained intact during the 1667 earthquake, leading to its use as the administration center where the Republic's treasury and cathedral valuables were stored.
