As is known, there is a one-way walkway on the wall. Minceta is located at the end of the wall and also the highest point with a beautiful view of the city. Take plenty of water with you. a small bottle of water costs €3.00, which is ridiculous.

One of the higher points for a photo shoot stop during an old town city wall walk.
Great views towards both the outer part of town and the old town itself.
Watch out for narrow steps. For hygiene and safety reason it would be good if there would be hand disinfection placed here.

The most impressive bastion of the Old City. The tallest, dominates everything around and is visible from any point. If you buy an access ticket to the walls, you can climb to the top for exceptional views of the old town and the entire area.

The Minceta Fortress is at the northwest corner of the walls around Dubrovnik. It's the highest point of the walls, and we loved the views and photos from the top. You can skip climbing it, but we recommend it. You go up via some interior stairs and then come out on the top of the tower. There are a couple small niches you can enter, and views all the way around. We especially liked the ones looking back over the city and out to the sea, as well as looking down to spot the modern sport court tucked right in under the walls. It takes a bit of extra effort climb up, but we always enjoy finding the high points and the views they offer.

The museum within the tower is great , but not very well advertised, the day i was there in early July there was only a couple of other people looking round.
Its called the foundry and explains how cannon balls were made. some of the displays need a little more explanation , but it also gets you into different sections of the walls that are not on the normal walls route.
If you have bought the Dubrovnic pass its well worth finding the entrance .

One of the great symbols of Dubrovnik is the fortress Minceta. It is one of the four forts of the city walls and rises magnificently above the city. Work on this impressive building began in 1319. Initially it was planned as a quadrilateral structure, but throughout its history, due to various historical circumstances, it became a round tower. The famous architect Michelozzo adapted the form to modern warfare techniques. But there the works were not finished: when Michelozzo left the city, the architect famous for Sibenik Cathedral, Juraj Dalmatinac, completed the work. Today, from Mynceta you can see the most beautiful view of Dubrovnik. This impressive fort, with its round shape and Gothic crown, becomes the perfect setting for several scenes.
With nine guns and a bronze cannon manufactured by Ivan Rabljanin, Minceta played a crucial role in the defense of Dubrovnik. It took its name from the Mencetic family, owner of the grounds where the fortress of Minceta stands today.

We visited the Old Town of Dubrovnik for a walk. A fort located northwest of the city walls. The best view point on the Wall Walk. Located at the highest point of the city walls, it overlooks the Old Town with its red-tiled houses and the Adriatic Sea and islands beyond the walls. When it was first built in the early 14th century, it was rectangular, but in the 15th century it was renovated into the current circle.

Walking the walls was amazing. I read lots of reviews that commented on the cost but it was really worth it. The views from the tower were amazing. Lots of steps - so you need to be fairly fit - but it's worth every step.

The Minčeta Tower is undoubtedly one of the great symbols of Dubrovnik. It is one of the four fortresses in the walls. It has a magnificent view of the citadel. Its construction began in 1319. It was initially planned as a structure
quadrilateral, but due to various historical circumstances, it became a round tower, with nine huge bronze guns. Minčeta played a crucial role in the defense of Dubrovnik. It was also the scene of Game of Thrones. It's impressive and beautiful!

Visited on July 2022.
It is part of the wall, so you can only go in with a pass. We came here halfway of the wall. Being pregnant, 33 degrees outside, many people walking and tierd from walking, I decided to not go up. There was a nice cafe next to it and I decided to go there instead. My husband on the other hand did go up. He said that the view is high, so you can see all Dubrovnik.
