Many of the cats here seem to be "community cats," taken care of by tourists and locals alike. Spaying and neutering seems rare here.

In 1385, the Grand Chamber decided to build a city clock tower, and the first tick was heard five years later. This one, however, was built in the 15th century.

Dubrovnik is a city on the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia and a popular tourist attraction, in normal times. It's also familiar as a film location--fans of HBO's Game of Thrones might recognize some of the sights. Cliff's captions tell us more.
