Cannon faces out over the harbour
Dubrovnik’s old port (known to the locals as Gradska Luka) is the main entry point of the city during the Republic and still contains the remnant arches of the great shipyards. Nowadays ferry boats leave here for Cavtat and Lokrum, and tenders from cruise ships moor to the quay which is lined by cafes, restaurants and ice cream stalls.
