Dubrovnik (Croatian with tone marks: Dùbrōvnik, stress on first syllable, IPA [ˈdǔ.bro̞ːʋ.nik], Dalmatian/Latin/Italian: Ragusa) is an old city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned at 42°39′N 18°04′E at the terminal end of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik was founded by joining two small towns: Laus, a town on a small island off the southern Dalmatian coast, which provided shelter for the Italic refugees from the nearby city of Epidaurum (today Cavtat); and Dubrava, a settlement of Slavic immigrants at the foot of the forested Srđ hill.
In 1815, by the resolution of Congress of Vienna, Dubrovnik was annexed to Austria (from 1867 Austria–Hungary), and remained in the Kingdom of Dalmatia until 1918.
Dubrovnik is rich with cultural and historical monuments: the City Walls, the Pile Gate, the fortresses Minceta, Bokar, St. John, Revelin and Lovrijenac, the Ploce Gate, the Onofrio Well, Stradun, the Palace Sponza, the Rector’s palace, are some of the numerous significant buildings.
Dubrovnik is a city and port on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea.
To the east of the city of Dubrovnik is the coast belt of Župa Dubrovačka along the Gulf of Župa, and to the south-east of the township of Cavtat, the somewhat wider coast belt of Konavle.
