Stradun (pronounced [strǎduːn]) or Placa (Stradone or Corso) 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.
The site of the present-day street used to be a marshy channel which separated Ragusa from the forest settlement of Dubrava before it was reclaimed in the 13th century. Stradun stretches through the walled town in the east-west direction, connecting the western entrance called the "Pile Gate" (Vrata od Pila) to the "Ploče Gate" (Vrata od Ploča) on the eastern end. Both ends are also marked with 15th-century fountains (the so-called Large Onofrio's Fountain in the western section and the Small Onofrio's Fountain on the east end) and bell towers (the Dubrovnik Bell Tower to the east end and the bell tower attached to the Franciscan monastery to the west).

It is located by the waters and acts as the entry into the old town. But it is not worth it to pay 15 euros and walk along the walls of the city. It is better to take a boat or kayak and see it from outside.

Interesting. Dubrovnik is beautiful but it has become a tourist honeypot. Far too many cruise liner visitors. The admission prices for the Wall and the cable car are extortionate. Visit once and then go to the real Croatia!!

Great spot to people watch or enjoy the view of the harbour. It's quiet in the morning so try to go early!

One of the main entrances to the Old town, historic and great place for photos and sightseeing

As much as Pile Gate is must see palce at Dubrovnik without Ploce Gate the experience is not complete.

I'm enjoying the view as I occasionally glance up from the book I'm reading here at the gate.

Great clean area, safe to wander around even late at night.

This bridge is pretty neat. You get to walk across and old wooden draw bridge that is no longer in use. Fun to look at and image how it worked.

Amazing views of the Old Town port...especially at night. Don't forget to bring your tripod.

Old Town Dubrovnik truly is a gem to see in your lifetime and this gate is the first in many a sight to behold. So many angles to take photos of and they also perform guard ceremonies that lead to this gate. Just be careful in the mornings with the deliveries as you don't wanna be squat by a van in some of the narrows arches.

Beautiful entrance to Dubrovnik conveniant if entering with luggage (almost no stairs). Space for taxi's and Uber to drop off and pick up.
