DUBROVNIK WALKNG TOURS

**Medieval Crafts Tour**

Once upon a time, the Republic of Dubrovnik paid for its freedom with 10,000 ducats a year. These local coins were minted right here in Dubrovnik. Discover the ancient process and see if you can mint one yourself! We all know pirates used cannons, and these deadly weapons played a crucial role in the past. But do you know how cannonballs were made? We’ll visit the gunpowder room just below Minčeta Fortress to learn all about the cannonball production process.

**Tour Highlights:**

– **Start at Pile Gate:** The main entrance to the city, where your journey begins.
– **Kolorina Bay:** Learn about ancient dyeing methods used centuries ago.
– **Old Pharmacy:** Discover the traditional techniques of preparing potions and elixirs.

Walk through Dubrovnik’s narrow streets, following in the footsteps of old maids and night women. Visit St. Clare’s Convent, where fathers used to place their daughters to avoid paying dowries. Hidden in an alley, you’ll find Europe’s first orphanage, where women brought their illegitimate children.

A notable symbol of the city is its stairs—5432 steps in the old town, and you’ll climb a few of them.

The tour concludes on the main street with a delicious ice cream treat.
