Located on the Adriatic Sea in the southernmost part of Croatia is the city of Dubrovnik. 

Founded in the 7th century, it rose in prominence and became one of the leading city-states in Europe. 

It was a major competitor with Venice in the region and had complicated relations with both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. 

It was the site of one of the most brutal sieges in post-WWII Europe, and today it has become one of the top tourist destinations in the world.

Learn more about Dubrovnik and its long, complicated history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
