The value of Dubrovnik was already recognised by UNESCO thirty years ago, in 1979., when the Festival of St Blaise joined the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in October 2009. The Dubrovnik Republic, representing the golden period of the Dubrovnik history, perfectly regulated the City and its life through its statute and other historic documents.
The first fortifications were built earlier, but the most intense construction took place from the 15th to the 17th century.The ramparts are 25 metres high in places, and from 4 to 6 m. thick on the landward side and from 1-1/2 to 3 m. thick on the seaside.
From each side of the world there are parts of the defence system such as Fort Minčeta, Fort St. Johns, Fort Lawrence and Fort Revelin at Ploče. There are three entrances to the city ramparts: on Stradun by the Pile gate, by Fort St. Johns and by Fort St. Luke, by St.. Dominika street.
Dubrovnik Summer Festival takes special place in cultural part of city life with its musical and theatrical performances which happen in numerous open-air venues ( during July and August).Libertas film festival combines the excitement of the World and European premieres, discovery of new Int'l and Croatian filmmakers, as well as the rich culture and history of the region and the city itself ( 11th to 17th april 2011.)
