GIGANTICKÁ Fotografie + English: Croatia-01754 - Two Fortresses (Taken on June 8, 2013, Sony NEX-7)

• Top right is Bokar Fortress located at the southwest part of the City Walls and served as the protector of Pile Gate, City Bridge and moat at Pile. This round tower was built after famous Renaissance architect Michellozzi's plan (1461 - 1570). It is said to be the oldest casemented fortress in Europe and contains a small lapidary collection and numerous cannons.
• The round tower at the bottom is Minceta Tower, located in the North wall ending, facing toward the land. The name derives from the name of the Menčetić family, who owned the ground the tower was built upon.
• Minčeta, the highest point in the Dubrovnik defence system, is a large round fort with a massive base in the form of a huge covered outer wall.
