We will be welcoming delegates of the 2nd Environmental Law Enforcement Conference being held at the Old Palace which today is the Hilton Hotel right next to the ancient walled city of Dubrovnik. This charming walled city, known as the "Jewel of the Adriatic", was built in the 7th century as a fortress town. The southern-most city in Croatia, Dubrovnik was one of the centres of the development of language and literature and was home to many famous poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians and other scholars. Its gorgeous old town became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
