“Is that a hawk?” a voice whispered, drawing our eyes upwards. Perched atop Orline, its silhouette is stark against the azure sky. Orline itself, rising 611 meters above sea level, stands as a silent sentinel overlooking Dubrovnik. Its slopes are a tapestry woven with history, echoing with tales whispered on the wind. Historians believe that Orline might be the very spot where Croatian tribes sought refuge from barbarian invasions in the 7th century. These refugees, fleeing the destruction of Epidaurum, laid the foundations for what would become Dubrovnik. Over time, small settlements, nestled amongst Orline’s foothills, coalesced into a single, fortified city, protected by the iconic ramparts we see today. Imagine the early Dubrovnians, gazing out from Orline’s peak as their city grew, a testament to their resilience in the face of adversity. Today, Orline stands as a reminder of those humble beginnings, a symbol of Dubrovnik’s enduring spirit.
