Price Includes
Walking through the Old Town of Dubrovnik - a focus is on the most important historical buildings: the Rector's Palace, monasteries and convents, cathedral, orphanages and historical palaces.
Highlights
- Girls were sent to convents, regardless of their will, or they were married to a man much older and more suitable for fathers than husbands.
- Cut off noses and ears, foreheads stamped with red-hot iron and blemished faces with sharp razors were female signs of expressed disobedience.
- Numerous maidservants breastfed their masters' children, at the same time killing their own illegitimate children of the same father.
- Renaissance poets were writing songs glorifying female beauty and virtue, at the same time paying high fines for raping women.
