    Recommendation: If you stay longer, visit also the Walls of Ston, a wall that defended the Republic of Ragusa (i.e. the Republic of Dubrovnik), helped by Ottomans, against Venetians in a real life version of game of thrones. For centuries Dubrovnik was one of the richest countries in the world and the strongest competitor to the Venetian Republic (with a population more nearly 20 times larger) in shipping and trade. Also, Ragusa (Dubrovnik) had organized one of the first intelligence organizations in history. Having no army Ragusa's independence depended heavily on accurate and timely intelligence gathered by its merchant, diplomats and scientists. And creative diplomacy§.

    §) Reference: "History records that ''Ragusa defended itself by diplomacy.'' But Ragusa's diplomacy took unusual forms; consider these written instructions by the Ragusa government (1568) to its ambassadors heading to Istanbul: ''When the pasha tells you that the Sultan wants to increase our tribute, fall on your knees, pour tears, and with most humble words beg him to desist, for we have always been his good servant.'' But the Ambassadors were also instructed to give the pasha a bribe of 5000 ducats to support their tearful pleas.'' "
