Minčeta Tower
The Minčeta Tower is the large round fortress at the highest, north-western corner of Dubrovnik's city walls. Begun as a four-sided tower in 1319, it was rebuilt in 1463–1464 after the fall of Constantinople, to plans by the Florentine architect Michelozzo, and completed by Juraj Dalmatinac. It is the city's most prominent landmark and the key to its landward defences.
