Dubrovnik
(2 hours from Viganj)

The city of
Dubrovnik is a living monument, a string of pearls including both material and
nonmaterial heritage.

The value
of Dubrovnik was recognised by UNESCO already thirty years ago, while the
Festival of St Blaise joined the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of
Humanity in October 2009. The Dubrovnik Republic, which presents the golden
period of the Dubrovnik history, perfectly regulated the City and its life
through its statute and other historic documents.

The
Republic did not erect monuments to its contemporaries. The seaman Miho Pracat
is the only person who deserved this great honour, while the figure which one
sees most often on the monuments of Dubrovnik is St Blaise holding a model of
the City in his hand.
