Lovrijenac, also known as St. Lawrence Fortress, is a historic fortress located outside the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Perched atop a 37-meter high cliff, it offers stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and the old city of Dubrovnik. The fortress played a crucial role in the defense of the city, particularly against Venetian forces in the 11th century. Known for its triangular shape and robust walls, Lovrijenac features a famous inscription above its entrance: "Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro," meaning "Freedom is not sold for all the gold in the world.
