Vrata od Buže (Buža Gate), Dubrovnik

Buža Gate stands as a northern gateway to Dubrovnik's Old Town, offering access from Iza Grada street, traversing Peline, and descending down steps to Prijeko. From there, it leads to Stradun, the primary promenade within the Old Town.

This entrance to the town proves convenient for those who have parked their vehicles in the Iza Grada area or are arriving at the town from Ilijina Glavica or Kono. However, it's worth noting that this route is among the more challenging paths to the heart of the Old Town, characterized by a significant number of steps.

Buža Gate's history is notable. It was established as a gateway to the town during the early 1900s, a period when Dubrovnik was under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It remains an important entry point, preserving elements of Dubrovnik's historical past and serving as a reminder of the city's enduring charm.
