The Walls of Dubrovnik, built from the 7th to the 16th century, protected the city from numerous threats, including the Venetian siege in 1205. Significant fortifications were added in the 14th and 15th centuries. During the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, the walls withstood a brutal siege by the Yugoslav People's Army. Today, the walls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for their historical significance.

Between the 14th and 16th centuries, Dubrovnik thrived as a major trading hub, with goods like spices and silk passing through its ports. To protect its people from diseases common in bustling trade centers, especially the deadly plague, Dubrovnik built a significant lazaret, or quarantine station, in 1627. This wasn't the first, but a key one, where arriving people and sometimes goods were isolated for a period of quarantine to prevent the spread of illness into the city, showcasing Dubrovnik's early understanding of disease control.
