Ragusa, Dalmatia: view from the road between Ragusa and Gravoso, 1870. Engraving from a sketch by Lieutenant H. S. Sitwell, R.E. of what is now Dubrovnik, Croatia. 'Ragusa is a fortified seaport city of Dalmatia. It is partly inclosed by old walls, flanked by massive round towers, has a cathedral, a Gothic custom-house, a palace of the former rectors of the republic, a guard-house, barracks, a lyceum, and various other public schools, a lazaretto, and a theatre. The port, immediately south of the city, is fitted only for small vessels. Its trade, once important, has greatly declined. Ragusa has suffered greatly from earthquakes...[The barracks and St. Angelo are visible] near the foot of the town; while beyond it, on an islet, is Fort Maximilian. On the height, to the left, stands Fort Imperial; the circular fort in the centre is Minchetto [Minceta Tower]; and crowning the hill above it is Fort Chakovitza'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
