Sokol tower is the Dubrovnik Republic's defensive fortress strategically situated at the border with former Ottoman Empire. It is located in the village Dunave, more precisely on a 25 meters high inaccessible rock. The tower was known long before the Republic came into its possession. Continuity of life around the tower can be traced from prehistory. In the Late Antiquity the tower was used as a defense tower for the Konavle region against the outer enemies. The Dubrovnik Republic came into its possession in the early 15th century and stayed its ruler until the end of the 17th century, more precisely until year 1667 when more than a half of Dubrovnik was destroyed in a devastating earthquake. For the next 300 years the tower was destined to fall into utter decay, close to oblivion. Thanks to the Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities, which came into its possession in 1966, the tower was renovated and in 2013 opened to public.
