The Walls of Ston, Croatia
According to Wikipedia...
The Walls of Ston are a series of defensive stone walls, originally more than 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) long, that surrounded and protected the city of Ston, in Dalmatia, part of the Republic of Ragusa, in what is now southern Croatia.
The Walls of Ston were known as the European wall of China.
Despite being well protected by massive city walls, the Republic of Ragusa used Pelješac to build another line of defence. At its narrowest point, just before it joins the mainland, a wall was built from Ston to Mali Ston. Throughout the era of the Republic, the walls were maintained and renovated once they meant to protect the precious salt pans that contributed to Dubrovnik's wealth, which are still being worked today.
Demolition work began on the walls following the fall of the Republic. Later the Austrian authorities took materials away from the wall to build schools and community buildings, and also for a triumphal arch on the occasion of the visit by the Austrian Emperor in 1884. The wall around Mali Ston was demolished with the excuse that it was damaging the health of the people. The demolition was halted after World War II.
The wall, today 5.5 kilometre long wall links Ston to Mali Ston, and is in the shape of an irregular pentangle. It was completed in the 15th century, along with its 40 towers (20 of which have survived) and 5 fortresses. Within, three streets were laid from north to south and three others from east to west. Thus, fifteen equal blocks were formed with 10 houses in each. Residential buildings around the edges. The Gothic Republic Chancellery and the Bishop's Palace are outstanding among the public buildings.
The main streets are 6 m wide (except the southern street which is 8 m wide) and the side streets are two m wide. The town was entered by two city gates: the Field Gate (Poljska vrata) has a Latin inscription and dates from 1506. The centres of the system are the fortress Veliki kaštio in Ston, Koruna in Mali Ston and the fortress on Podzvizd hill (224 m). Noted artist who work on the walls project are Michelozzo, Bernardino Gatti of Parma and Giorgio da Sebenico (Juraj Dalmatinac).
The city plan of Dubrovnik was used as a model for Ston, but since Ston was built on prepared terrain, that model was more closely followed than Dubrovnik itself. In terms of infrastructure like water mains and sewers built in 1581, Ston was remarkably unique in Europe.

Съвсем близо до Дубровник се намират Стон и Мали Стон - градчета известни със своите крепостни стени, стари солници и прочутите стонски стриди.
Няма да крия, причината да отида до там бяха стридите! Обичам техния вкус! Досега не бях виждала точно как се отглеждат и ми беше супер интересно. Вярвам, че и за вас ще бъде.
Толкова е хубаво човек да похапва супер пресни стриди. Само тези, които са опитвали могат да ме разберат. Стридите са основна причина туристите като мен да идват в Мали Стон. Тук има няколко заведения, предлагащи прясна морска храна и малко пристанище, където са рибарските лодки. Валеше дъжд и нямаше много хора, което беше идеално, защото бяхме сами на лодката, която щеше да ни отведе по-близо до стридите. Страхотно изживяване! Много ми хареса и дълго ще го помня.
След приключението по вода отидох и до Стон, който е съвсем близо до Мали Стон.
Там пих страхотно вино и посетих една от най-старите солници в Европа. Крепостните стени, които се извисяват над града били построени за да пазят солниците от вражески набези.
За жалост нямах време да ги разгледам от близо. Беше време да тръгна на път за Которският залив. Следващото видео ще е от там.
Аз съм Лора. Приятен път! ????

Very near Dubrovnik are located Ston and Mali Ston - small towns famous for their defensive stone walls, old salt pans and the well known oysters from Ston.
I’ll not hide it, the reason I went there were the oysters! I love their taste! Until then I hadn’t seen exactly how they were bred and it was super interesting for me. I believe it will be for you too.
It’s so nice to eat super fresh oysters. Only those of you who have tried them know what I mean. Oysters are the main reason tourists like me come to Mali Ston. There are several restaurants here offering fresh seafood and there’s a little harbour where the fishing boats are. It was raining and there weren’t many people which was perfect because we were alone on the boat which was to take us nearer the oysters. A fabulous experience! I liked it very much and I’ll remember it for a long time.
After the boat trip I went to Ston too which is very near Mali Ston.
There I drank great wine and visited one of the oldest salt pans in Europe. The defensive walls which rise above the city were built to keep the salt pans from enemy raids.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to see them up close. It was time to leave for the Bay of Kotor. The next video will be from there.
I’m Lora. Have a nice journey! ✈
