Right in the heart of Dubrovnik, Croatia, where narrow streets converge on a lively square, stands one of the city's most recognisable landmarks: the Great Onofrio Fountain. Built in the 15th century as part of an innovative water system that brought fresh spring water from the mountains to the city, this fountain is still a popular meeting place for locals and travellers alike today.
The round dome, decorated with sculpted faces, is a beautiful contrast to the surrounding medieval facades and the warm terracotta roofs that stretch over the city like a sea of red and orange. Here you can feel Dubrovnik's vibrant energy: tourists quenching their thirst after strolling the city walls, guides sharing stories of its rich history, and the gentle sound of running water that has remained unchanged for centuries.
This square also played a role in the popular series Game of Thrones, in which it served as the backdrop for the vibrant city life of King's Landing. This picture captures the soul of Dubrovnik - a city where ancient history and contemporary culture meet effortlessly - and invites you to become part of its timeless story yourself.
