Lovrijenac

Fort Lovrijenac or St. Lawrence Fortress, regularly referred to as Dubrovnik's Gibraltar, is a fortress and theater outdoor the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, 37 metres above sea level.

Early within the eleventh century the Venetians attempted to build a fortress on the same spot in which Fort Lovrijenac presently stands. If they'd succeeded, they could have kept Dubrovnik underneath their power, however the humans of the city beat them to it. The Chronicles of Ragusa screen how the fortress become built within just 3 months time and from then on continuously reconstructed.
