    Modern art statue of a famous local hero. We found it in the old city with its curious design. Other things named for the same guy around.

    This is a modest column and statue at the end of the main street in the old town. There was work being done on it while we visited, a restoration. So we could not get a good look at it. I'm sure it will be lovely after the work is completed.

    Regarded as the most prominent baroque poet from the Republic of Ragusa, Ivan Gundulic lived from 1589 to 1638. The monument itself was erected in 1893 in dubrovniks largest square, Poljana.

    Located on the Brsalje terrace between the Pile Gate and the Visitor/Tourist Info center, is the Statue of Aphrodite and Pan. Built in 1902 it shows the statue of pan holding a sheep with Aphrodite standing by his shoulder.
    This is a very popular meeting place for tour groups, and cruise ship passengers waiting for transport back thier cruise ships. There are under the tall cool trees plenty of places to sit, and people watch.

    TIP: The public toilets are directly across the road.

    This statue pays hommage to late Pope John Paul II, now Saint.

    In June 2003, the 83 year old pontiff made an historic visit to Croatia, his third to the country.

    It was also marked the 100th foreign visit of his papacy making him the most travelled Pope ever.

    The life-size statue depicts his holiness in a standing position. It was erected to acknowledge the affection and esteem that the Croatian people had for Pope John Paul II.

    The bronze statue stands alongside the Church of the Holy Cross, opposite the Port of Gruž in Dubrovnik.

    It was colourful and a nice greeting when arriving by boat. It was bigger than they are usually. It was worth a glance for sure.

    Monday 13th June and we saw this memorial on a roundabout outside the main building of the Port of Gruž, in Dubrovnik.

    Initially it looked like a large rock, with an old anchor on one side and a large oblong stone on the other.

    We did notice a square plaque on the front of the large rock.

    Inscribed on the plaque is the name Vlaho Škilj and the dates 1950 to 1991. A bunch of red roses and a sprig of white flowers were positioned above the plaque.

    The memorial has been placed there by Police Association of Veterans of the Dubrovnik 91 Police Department.

    It honours their fallen comrade in arms, Vlaho
    Škilj who died on the 6th December 1991 at 14.00 in the Port of Gruž. He was a member of the MUP (Ministry of the Interior) Reserve. He was posthumously awarded with an number of honours.
