It has already turned heads...what’s that up there...is it a bird, is it a plane, no it’s a hot-air balloon. Artist Miron Milic has created a huge painting on the facade of the building of the Port of Dubrovnik, and no it isn’t illegal graffiti, as part of the promotion of Dubrovnik as a candidate city for the European Capital of Culture for 2020.

Milic is famous for his street art and his latest creation on the side of the Port of Dubrovnik building is sure to catch the attention of passersby. With a little help from the Dubrovnik fire-brigade Milic spent most of the day painting the hot-air balloon.

Get yourselves down to the port and see the giant balloon and at first hand.
