The city walls of Dubrovnik are one of the city's best known features. Built in the 10th century and modified in the 13th to 14th centuries the walls, some up to 6m / 19ft thick, provided a solid defense against invaders. The total length of Dubrovnik's city walls is 1949m / 6390ft and they make a great spot for a casual stroll. Tremendous views can be had from Dubrovnik's city walls out over the Adriatic and inwards over the old town center.
