In front of St. Berez Church is Orlando Column, one of Dubrovnik's most beautiful works of art. For 600 years, it has been the symbol of freedom and independence and the center of the city spirit. The most famous Knight Roland was carved in the Middle Ages. The legend of Roland wearing soldier's armor to help the people of Dubrovnik fight against the enemy has been circulating in Dubrovnik. The introduction of the old city feels like a bit of a snake's tail. The main reason is that the scenery and the city are merged into one. However, my language and expression ability are limited, and the cultural awareness of the whole city is limited, so I can't make more introductions. Or leave us some space for expectation and imagination, we must experience it personally before we can realize the heavy and emotional history.

It has been a symbol of freedom and independence for 600 years and is the center of the city's spirit. The sculpture is carved by the most famous knight Roland in the Middle Ages. The upper arm of the statue is51.1 cm long, which is the standard length of Dubrovnik's own unique 'Ragusan cubit, lakat'. The picture is from Flickr's "Schecktrek".

    It's a famous pillar, but it's really very small. It is the symbol of freedom and independence of this ancient city.

    The stone pillars of the Medieval Knight Orlando, with his sword, highlight the city's long history and are one of the few remains of the city.
