About Fort Imperial

Fort Imperial is one of the most majestic and beautiful places to visit in Dubrovnik. This iconic structure was constructed as a defense during the war in 1806 by the French troops. However, today this structure is more popular as a sightseeing destination and works as a museum. The fort has been converted into a historical museum, displaying the history and even artifacts regarding the defense system during the Homeland wars.

In addition to the museum, the fort itself is worth a tour, learning about all its prime features and how it served as a defense system. While visiting, you should definitely plan the trip during the evening as this place offers the most spectacular sunsets in the city. Those who are a little adventurous can take the hike up the hill while others can take the cable car ride for a more relaxing ride.
