More pictures from the top of Mount Srđ

Mount Srđ (pronounced serj) stands above Dubrovnik old town and is 1,352 feet tall. A cable-car takes visitors to the top and back, where there stands a cable car station with a restaurant with panoramic views over Dubrovnik and the coast. A Napoleonic fort, Fort Imperial, also resides at the top, which is now a museum to the events of the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s. In addition, there is a tall television transmission mast.

The mountain played a key role in the Siege of Dubrovnik during the conflict between the Croatian forces and the Yugoslav People’s Army, with the Croatian’s literally holding the fort.
