Description of peak:
Srđ is a 415m-high hill rising above Dubrovnik.
The first patron saint of Dubrovnik was Sveti Srđ, after whom the hill was named.
At the top there is a transmitter, a stone cross, a restaurant and the Imperial Fortress, which houses the Homeland War Museum.
The fortress was built between 1806 and 1816 during the Napoleonic Wars. It was extended during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
Srđ was once covered with an oak forest, which the inhabitants called dubrava. This is the origin of the town's name.
It is a popular tourist destination. There are fotpaths, a road and a gondola leading to the top.
From the panoramic terrace of the top gondola station, you can see the whole city of Dubrovnik with its walls, the Lapad peninsula, the island of Lokrum and the Elaphiti islands, and the open Adriatic Sea with other islands on the horizon.
