Kneza Damjana Jude Defensive Wall

"Constructed and reinforced between the 14th and 15th centuries, the wall was designed to defend the city from attacks by both sea and land, particularly during a time when Dubrovnik was becoming a key player in Mediterranean trade. The fortifications were built using advanced construction techniques of the era, designed to withstand attacks from artillery, which was becoming more prevalent in European warfare at the time. Like many of Dubrovnik’s fortifications, the Kneza Damjana Jude Wall is strategically placed to take advantage of the city’s natural landscape, providing a vantage point over the eastern approaches to the city. It also connects to key defensive structures, including the Revelin Fortress, which guarded the city’s Ploče Gate and served as an important bastion for eastern defense."
