All countries were subjected to wars and gained their independence, but the price for each country's independence is brave defenders who died defending their homeland. This gallery (located inside the Sponza Palace) features many photos of such heroes who died defending Dubrovnik in the 1991-1995 Croatian War of Independence. If you are a fan of history and would like to get to know these heroes and their honors, see some scenes from the war, maps of the areas they defended and their plans, then feel free to visit this exhibition.
