Mount Srd
10m · Admission ticket included
Driving along rural roads and through a pine forest, we will reach the Srđ Hill, one of the most visited locations in Dubrovnik.. Srđ Hill is located above the city of Dubrovnik and since ancient times it has been a natural shelter of the city of Dubrovnik from the strong wind “Bura”, but also the invasions of various conquerors throughout history. On the Srđ Hill, after Napoleon's army conquered the city of Dubrovnik, the construction of the Fort Imperial began, which was completed by the Austro-Hungarians. The fort had a great strategic impact on the defence of the city, especially during the Homeland War of the 1990s. Nowadays, it houses the Homeland War museum. Next to the Fort Imperial, there is a large white stone cross with an altar and the upper station of the cable car that connects the Dubrovnik city with Srđ Hill. The stunning panoramic view of Dubrovnik Old Town, the island of Lokrum, the Elaphite archipelago and the Adriatic Sea from this place is impressive.
