Today, Dubrovnik, Croatia, is a popular travel spot for several reasons. It' s located in a peaceful spot by the Adriatic Sea. The large stone walls surrounding the city and its limestone streets give the city a timeless charm. However, the history of this amazing place is a bit darker than most people realize. Back in medieval times, Dubrovnik was a powerful trading port. This was disrupted in the 14th century, as the Black Death killed millions of people across Europe.
時至今日，克羅埃西亞的杜布羅夫尼克由於某些原因成為了一個著名的旅遊景點。它坐落於亞得里亞海邊的一處平靜之地。巨大的石牆包圍著這座城市，石灰岩街道也賦予了這座城市永恆的魅力。然而，這個奇妙地點的歷史卻比人們了解的還要更黑暗些。回溯到中世紀時，杜布羅夫尼克是一座強盛的貿易港口。然而這在十四世紀時便被中斷了，因為黑死病在歐洲造成了數百萬人死亡。
