Hell yeah! Walking down from the Imperial Fort overlooking the city as I listen to the best English-language account ever put into thirty minutes! I got to stop on the overlooks as you described the stages of wall construction. Perfect length for the walk down too. Thank you thank you thank you!
thats amazing! I'm really glad it made for a good audio guide & thankyou!
There's just something so adventurous and full of life about the adriatic. The stories and events thst come from there are just breathtaking. I would personally love to hear more from it, there isnt much on it online. Cities like kotor or split are breathtaking, straight out of a fairly tale. These masive and irregular land formation towered by mountains... and then it end right in Shkoder, a masive river marks the beginning of a plain and there you get Durres, historically a gem. What a place...!
100% this - it was one of the main incentives for doing the Venetian series
Other than these incredible locations we kept stumbling into - i was incredulous that every video, almost everything i would find on the Venetian Republic was 97% City of Venice ...couple of footnotes on the rest of the territories
and while sure - if you've not travelled in the Balkans and beyond its a bit of a steep learning curve keeping track of all these places - its an incredible saga, played out over around 1000 years,
just irresistable
Excellent and accurate review of Dubrovnik's history, congratulations on a very very good job!
thks!
For anyone looking for more information on specific events relating to the Republic in English, the journal "Dubrovnik Annals" published by the Institute for Historical Sciences in Dubrovnik is really good and free to read.
I wish other Croats would do the same with their articles and videos.
(are you reading Dalmatinska Povijest? Pravaski Odjek?)
@@9and7 I've not read either of those, no. I tend to stick more strictly do Dubrovnik and the stuff in its old borders.
@@nathanpayne6765 (the above is still me, I just forgot to change account)
the walls built the Nights Templars ,but it was some kind of village-town from the 7th Century , there is another great small but tall up from Herceg Stjepan Kosaca by
King Tvrtko ( 1282 ), but the best is in Knin , Croatia its the second biggest fortress in Europe !

Nice to put some pictures to a place I've only really heard about. Nice slick narration :)
This has been on our list for so long! It looks beautiful.
Such a beautiful city!
A lot of information, nearly all of it unknown to me until now! Excellent photography, and enthusiastic delivery which carried me along.
History episodes leeeetttt's goooooooooooo!
The Italian name for Dubrovnik is replicated by a city with the same name in Sicily - I guess both are of Greek origin? The shipbuilding prowess of the Ragusans led to the English name "argosy" based on their types of ships and this word is employed in Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" when they are discussing the mercantile enterprises of one of the characters in the play. And in 1935 a series of books was published under the "argosy" heading which featured the ship in silhouette and presumably the theme of the individual books was one of exploration and adventure - exactly the type of thing Dubrovnik/Ragusan merchants were engaged in back in the time of the republic's glory.
Fantastic music and video ❤
So many history in such a 'small' place ❤🏛

'In the Institute of Historical Sciences HAZU in Dubrovnik, the book of Brother Luka Vladimirović, An Account of the Beginning of the Bosnian Kragliestva from 1775, owned by the Franciscan monastery in Karin, was found. The monastery was destroyed in 1993 during the Serbian occupation of that part of Croatia and its library burned down, so the book found in Dubrovnik is the only preserved copy of this once rich library. On Tuesday, October 3, 2023, the head of the Institute, academic Nella Lonza, handed over the book to the guardian of the monastery, Fr Petar Klarić.'

That… is a long siege.
Not sure where you got your information from... Croatians had been there from 500/700 Ad and defended Dubrovnik from the Arabs in 700/800 Ad and from the Bulgarians, Germans, Hungarians, Austrians, Venetians and Ottoman Turks after that.
It was impenetrable until Napolean, who conquered it and was so impressed with the Croatian soldiers he stated that "If I had 100,000 Croatian Soldiers I would conquer the world'. Western historians always name the towns in the Greek or Latin, but forget that the Croatians who were in ancestry ancient Medes with Aboriginal Europeans ancient Illyirians, defended there land.
I have an Iranian friend who belongs to the ancient Persian religion of Zoroaster who told me that as a result of the Arab invasion of his country whole tribes were displaced who fled west and eventually formed the nucleus of the Croatian nation though I have never read any historical justification for this claim. Medes of course were ancient Iranians.

People of Dalmatia Never did nor ever will feel anything but CROATIAN. Roman? Are you for real?
FIrst there were Illyrians (Delmati,Liburni), Greeks, Romans and than Croats but modern Dalmatia that today you can see is almost all bulit by Croats only Old parts of cities like Split and Zadar still have some Roman/Greek heritage but all rest is done by Croatians. Also this documentary talks about Dubrovnik which was almost exclusively bulit by Croats considering in Illyrian/Greek/Roman times Dubrovnik was basically nothing but port for ships and very small comune.
@@tomislavbatinic9605 thank you for this info,
Please stop calling it 'Kavtat'... 🤦♂️😂 it's not a hard C, it's more like 'tsavtat'
