Henry, my roommate, noticed people walking on top the city wall (1940 meters long). He suggested we do like-wise and we did. The walk starts at the base of the south east corner looking out on the Adriatic. We head north on the Adriatic side and keep going from there. Note the two different colors of roof tiles. The brownish yellow are pre-1995 bombardment of the Serbian Navy. The bright red are post bombardment. (90% of the roofs are bright red. That shows the extent to which the Serbs tried to destroy the city.)
