"From damage to gem,
Dubrovnik doesn't forget—
It only rebuilds."

From 2024 09 08 Dubrovnik

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Dubrovnik, Croatia. "In 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, Dubrovnik was besieged by the Yugoslav People's Army for seven months and suffered significant damage from shelling." Dubrovnik's iconic orange tiled roofs have since undergone repair and today have an orange-red shine, brighter than before. Once again, Dubrovnik is one of the Mediterranean's top tourist destinations.
