Fortress of Lovrijenac Dubrovnik

While in Dubrovnik, Croatia, you will likely want to see the city walls since they are of great historical significance. However, there is another site, quite close to the city walls, but not a part of them that is even more important in terms of Dubrovnik's fortifications – the Fortress of Lovrijenac. Interesting note: It is said this fortress was slapped together in just three months to stop the Venetians from building there. Above the entrance you will find the Latin inscription "Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro" which loosely translates to " Freedom is not to be sold for all the treasures in the world."
