THE WALL-Dubrovnik

I decided to do "the wall" on the hottest day i was in Croatia. 40 degrees! Dubrovnik is the oldest walled city in Europe. I spent 4 hours and 4 bottles of water enjoying the most spectacular view i have ever seen. There were so many photo ops. The fountain was built in 1438 as part of a water supply system that involved bringing in water from 12 km away! It was built by the main gate to the city to encourage visitors to wash themselves before walking around. It is still used to this day and i enjoyed many bottles of water from it!
