Description of mountain:
Srđ is 415 meters high hill, which is rising above Dubrovnik.
The first patron saint of Dubrovnik was St. Srđ, after which the hill got its name.
On the top there is a transmitter, a stone cross, restaurant and fortress Imperial, in which there is settled a war museum.
They built the fortress between the years 1806 and 1816 in the time of Napoleonic wars. It was extended in the time of Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Srđ used to be vegetated with oak forest, which the locals called Dubrava. From here also the name of the town originates.
It is a popular tourist destination. To the summit leads a footpath, a road and a cable car.
From the panorama terrace of the upper cable car station we can see the entire town Dubrovnik with the wall, peninsula Lapad, island Lokrum and Elaphiti islands and open Adriatic Sea with the other islands on the horizon.
