The lower area of Fort St John contains the Aquarium of Dubrovnik. Many interesting displays of local and exotic fish provide hours of enjoyment. The Aquarium of Dubrovnik is particularly noted for its collection of sea horses. The local name for Fort St John is Fort of St Ivan and visitors may have to refer to it when speaking to locals. Located at the very top of Fort St John is the Bokar Fort. Designed and built by Michelozzo Michelozzi, the Bokar Fort is circular and is a great spot to glean views out over the city.
