Ston - A medieval fortified city
A view of the ancient, medieval, fortified city of Ston (near Dubrovnik, Croatia) from its fortifications, with its famous sea saltworks (Solana), the oldest in continual use in Europe (and perhaps in the World). Solana dates back to the Roman times, two thousand years B.C. Ston became a part of the Republic of Dubrovnik in the 14th century and was heavily fortified in 1360 by the longest defensive wall in Europe. The wall with its fortifications is well preserved, and the Solana (saltworks) are still being exploited using the traditional methods. The Peljasac peninsula, where the city of Ston is situated, is a well-known wine country and famous for growing oysters (sea shells).
