Orlando's Column, at the end of the Placa (Stradun) in Dubrobnik’s Old City, and by the entrance to the harbour, is the most significant symbol of Dubrovnik's independence and freedom. Since 1990 Orlando's Column has been flying a white flag which bears one word known and understood by everyone, 'Libertas'!
Immediately to the right of the column in this photograph is the Church of St Blaise, the patron saint of Dubrovnik.
