"Fort Lovrijenac (or Fort Lawrence) was used as The Red Keep in the show. This is the sight of Joffrey’s name day celebrations, the place where Bronn taught Jaime to fight left handed, the place where Tyrion and Varys took numerous strolls together and the place which overlooks the sight of Joffrey and Margaerys’ wedding (Park Gradac) and the Viper Vs the Mountain fight (Belvedere atrium).
So basically, if there’s only one place you go to as a GoT fan in Dubrovnik, this is the place.
Stand high on the walls ready to address your subjects like Joffrey at his name day, strut down the halls like Cersei on her way to tell Baelish that ‘power is power’, or just take in the views and wish you had such an amazing job which involves working with backdrops like this every day!
Cost: Around 20 Euro just for entrance.
Entrance is also included with a ticket to walk the walls. "

"Fortified high above the Adriatic Sea, Fort Lovrijenac, also known as St. Lawrence Fortress, stands as a magnificent symbol of Dubrovnik's historical resilience and defensive prowess. This awe-inspiring 14th-century structure perched on a 37-meter cliff offers not only captivating views but also whispers tales of its fascinating past.
Built Between 1340 and 1346: Construction began in response to threats from Venice, aiming to strengthen Dubrovnik's western defenses and protect the vital Pile Gate and its bridge. Its triangular shape with thick walls (up to 12 meters facing the sea!) and strategic positioning made it a formidable force against potential attacks. While primarily serving as a defensive structure, Fort Lovrijenac also housed cannons, storage facilities, and even a prison throughout its history."

"Known as Dubrovnik’s "Gibraltar," this imposing fortress is perched on a cliff outside the city walls. Besides its historical significance, it offers fantastic views over the Old Town and was a filming location for Game of Thrones."
