Prijeko Street is a charming, narrow medieval lane that runs through the heart of Old Town Dubrovnik, just north of Stradun, the main street. Known locally as Ulica Prijeko, the street is lined with Baroque-style houses. Today, it's home to a mix of restaurants, cafés, and boutique accommodations. Prijeko Street runs parallel to Dubrovnik's main thoroughfare, Stradun, about 50 meters uphill to the north.
Orlando's Column
In the center of Luža Square, on the eastern end of Stradun, is Orlando's Column, a historic stone monument dating back to 1418. Carved into the statue is a heroic medieval knight who defended Dubrovnik from invaders. In 1418, Bonino di Jacopo, an Italian master sculptor from Milan, built the column with the help of local sculptor Antun Dubrovčanin.

Stradun, officially Placa, is Dubrovnik's main street, stretching 300 meters from Pile Gate in the west to Luža Square in the east. Along the limestone-paved street, which cuts through the heart of Dubrovnik, are many historical sights, restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. Along Stradun, you will find some of Dubrovnik's most important sites, including the Large Onofrio's Fountain, Sponza Palace, the Church of St.
