More about this marker. This marker is located at the main entrance (Gradska grata Pile or Pile Gate) to Old Town Dubrovnik, where Ulica Vrata od Pila becomes the Stradun. Inside Old Town it is strictly pedestrian.
Also see . . . Siege of Dubrovnik -- Wikipedia. Regardless of its military outcome, the Siege of Dubrovnik is primarily remembered for the large-scale looting by JNA troops and the artillery bombardment of Dubrovnik, especially its Old Town. The reaction of the international media and media coverage of the siege reinforced an opinion, already taking shape since the fall of Vukovar, that the conduct of the JNA and the Serbs was barbaric and intent on dominating Croatia—regardless of the destruction of priceless cultural heritage that occurred in the process.
