Lovrijenac is built upon a 37-meter high rock which overlooks the sea. This fortress was built at the beginning of the 11th century because the Venetians allegedly intended to build their own great fortress at the same location. In order to hold Dubrovnik powerless against them, the people of Dubrovnik immediately decided to build a fortress on this virtually inaccessible cliff to protect the city from the Venetians. It has become one of the most beautiful stages of the world for one of the world's best plays, Shakespeare's Hamlet. While you walk along at the top of the walls it gives you a view of the city surrounded by the sea. Fort Lovrijenac was also used as the Red Keep at King’s Landing in the popular Game of Thrones television series. The scene where Tyrion, Podrick, and Bronn walk on the walls after the battle of Blackwater is filmed here. (Season 3 Episode 1 Valar Dohaeris). Revelin Fortress, the Fortress Saint-John, and Fort Bokar are some of the must-see points at this attraction.
Well while you are at the Lovrijenac and you have enough time with you for the day there are a few places around that you can visit within 4 to 5 km:
To reach Lovrijenac – from Pile proceed down the steps (follow the sign) to Kolorina Bay and follow a narrow and steep path to the entrance of the Tower. Pile is quite a famous bus stop. There are three areas at Pile to wait for a bus – one on the south side of the square and the other two on the north. The southside bus stop area serves buses 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 2a, 3, and 9.
