Stradun, or Placa as it is coled by the local people, is known by being the biggest and the most famous city street in Dubrovnik as also being Dubrovnik favorite promenade. Stradun stretches from the Pila Gate all the way to Luža square and it's the shortest communication between the western and eastern City gate. This is also a place of every big local events and processions and also is a mercantile artery of old part of the City.

Stradun is rather wide street because once there was a channel here that separated the Croatian (in majority) and roman settlements. Stradun was created in the 10th and the 11th century by building earthworks over the channel connecting these two settlements and unavoidably mixing these two populations but giving a strong Croatian cultural accent to this newborn city.

A walk through Stradun is an unavoidable part of sightseeing in Dubrovnik and shops and cafeterias all a long this unique street contribute to impression that all the life of the City is being held there.
