SHORT OUTLINE OF ITS HISTORY

Following the independence declaration of the Republic of Croatia, and the subsequent aggression of Serbia against Croatia, the Dubrovnik region was attacked in October 1991 with extreme force by the Serbs and Montenegrans, who intended to burn and destroy completely the whole territory.

It was occupied and devastated, and the city itself was totally encircled for eight months, bombarded many times and brutally destroyed particularly on the 6th of December 1991.

Today the cultural and historic heritage of Dubrovnik has been restored.

All buildings have been reconstructed and the valuable assets of the Dubrovnik cultural events, that are essential elements for the development of modern tourism in the region.
