to protect it from attacks and pillage. Salt was one ofthe most important sources of the Republics riches at that time. During the first 30 years, the defensive walls were built from one side of the Peninsula to the other,the fortified towns were erected to provide housing for people to guard the borders and work in the salt pans. It was completed in the 15th century. Being 5.5kms long complete with 40 towers and 5 forts, it has been likened to a miniature “Great Wall of China”. Today, 5 km of wall and 20 towers remain.
Dinner at Bota-Sare restaurant deals with the hospitality service more than 20 years. Oysters, as the first and most known specialty, all types of shells, clams and fishes, made to the recipes from the time of the old Dubrovnik Republic.
