Architectural folly

Stradun is the main street of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The limestone-paved pedestrian street runs some 300 metres through the Old Town, the historic part of the city surrounded by the Walls of Dubrovnik. Stradun became the city's main thoroughfare in the 13th century, and its current appearance was for the most part created following the devastating 1667 earthquake in which most of the buildings in Dubrovnik were destroyed. This photograph was during a violent thunderstorm which followed a hot sunny day, our first there.
