This memorable excursions through Croatia’s most famous medieval city begins at the monumental Pile Gate, located at the top of Stradun, the splendid main promenade street of the Old Town. We keep walking to the Franciscan Monastery, whose cloister is one of the most magnificent sites in the city and then to the house of the oldest pharmacy in Europe opened in 1317.

A little further is Sponza Palace, notable for its portico with columns and elaborate stone carvings which today houses the State Archives. Our tour ends with a visit to the Cathedral which was built on the ruins of  a  12thC church but then destroyed by the great  earthquake of 1667.

Having experienced the most important parts of the Old Town, there’s time to go back and explore its hidden corners by yourself. Feel free to climb the stairs to the walls that give you the opportunity to walk around the Old Town from high up on its ramparts. You can take a cable car for a stunning view of the famous red tile roofs and the sea.
