We'll start our stroll through the Old Town in the Pile area, in front of the Amerling Fountain. We'll learn about the main activities and businesses in this neighborhood, whose fortresses were important for its defense, and how the walls were built. We'll continue to the Pile Gate and Paskoje Miličević Square, where we'll learn the history of its buildings: the Church of St. Saviour, Onofrio's Great Fountain, the Franciscan Monastery, the Convent of St. Clare, and the orphanage. We'll walk along the main street, Stradun, to the eastern part of the city: Sponza Palace, the Church of St. Blaise, the City Bell Tower, Orlando's Column, the Rector's Palace, the Cathedral, the Church of St. Ignatius and the College, and finally the Old Harbor, where our tour will end.
