Saint John's Fortress, Limestone fortress in Old Harbor, Croatia.
The fortress features round walls facing the sea with an inclined base, while the harbor side presents vertical stone surfaces.
The structure emerged through multiple construction phases, beginning in 1346 and culminating in 1557 with the merger of Gundulić and Dock forts.
The Maritime Museum inside the fortress displays navigation history through collections of ship models and seafaring equipment from medieval Dubrovnik.
Visitors need separate entrance tickets for the Maritime Museum, Aquarium, and Pulitika Studio, which operate independently within the fortress walls.
The fortress houses an aquarium in its stone vaults, where visitors can observe various species from the Adriatic Sea.
