Orlando Column

The Orlando Column is one of the most beautiful works of art in the ancient city of Dubrovnik. It was built in the 15th century and is located on Luza Square between Sponza Palace and St. Blaise Church. It represents freedom and independence and is the center of the city’s spirit. . The figure carved on the stone pillar is Roland, the most famous knight in the Middle Ages.

Very famous stone pillars, but really very small. It is a symbol of freedom and independence in this ancient city.

在圣柏列兹教堂正前方就是奥兰多石柱（Orlando Column），奥兰多石柱是杜布罗夫尼克最美丽的艺术作品之一。600年来一直是自由和独立的象征，是城市精神的中心。雕刻在上的是中世纪最著名的骑士罗兰，杜布罗夫尼克一直流传着罗兰身着战士盔甲帮助杜布罗夫尼克人民抗击敌军的传说。关于老城的介绍感觉有些虎头蛇尾，主要是这里的景和城市融为了一体，无奈本人语言词藻和表达能力有限，而且对整个城市的文化认知有限，不能做过多介绍。还是留给大家一些期待和想象的空间，一定要亲身经历之后才能体会到那份历史的沉重和感慨。

在游览的时候石柱一直是最显眼的，高度使然。

奥兰多石柱，是迄今这个城市保留下来的最古老的公共雕塑。石柱刻有中世纪骑士奥兰多手持宝剑。
