Looking back to Dubrovnik

A very hilly wooded island, as you can see from this photo.

A restful view of the old Benedictine monastery from Napoleonic Fort Royal.

The ornamental gardens were not impressive, but then the island was heavily shelled by the Serbs in the Croatian War of Independence in the early 1990’s

This pool, called the Dead Sea, is a natural hollow filled with seawater through underground channels.
