by Dubrovnik!
George Bernard Shaw called the city “paradise on earth,”
and it is easy to see why.
Dubrovnik is a 12th Century masterpiece sitting on the jewel like Adriatic Sea.
The old city is surrounded by towering medieval walls, looming up to 80 feet over the city.
The walls can be walked in entirety,
offerring incredible views over the old city and the sea.
Game of Thrones was filmed here,
because the city retains a magical sense of unique ancientness.
Cheers to you from magical old Dubrovnik~

Beautiful contrast of the vermilion roofs with that deep (Prussian?) blue : )

Exactly! These corridors are built for a person to walk through single file. They fascinate me. In some cities they create mazes that are so fun to get lost in, and hopefully, eventually found!
