Plenty to see here but I found it a bit disorganised and would have liked more logic to it - wasn't always sure of the significance of some of the exhibits!

Not too much to see compared with UK historic buildings. What was there is good and you must enter the small jail and feel the cold and how confined it really is.

This was a very interesting place to visit from the subterranean chambers where you could wander into cells where prisoners were kept and just across the courtyard there was a poignant photographic memorial to the Homeland War.

Great place to get info about Dubrovnik with some great photos of what it went through 20 years a go during the civilwar. If you get a city pass it is free to get into with the pass. There are some seats outside the palace where you can watch the world go by and the tours!!
