It's always interesting to get back to the past and to compare it to the present. That's why we love to see old footages from Dubrovnik. The recent one, published by Footagepro, shows the Old City back in 1971. It was shot by an Austrian filmaker while touring Yugoslavia.
The beauty of the Old City doesn't change during the years and almost 50 years back Dubrovnik looked as pretty as now. Movie was obviously made during the summer, but at the start or end of the season, since everybody have short sleeves on, but some are wearing their sweaters just in case. It's quite touristy and there are many people walking around. Green market is especially crowded but on the other hand, now iconic Banje Beach is almost empty – maybe it wasn't a good day for swimming. It's interesting to see the car parked right in front of the Rector's Palace! Prijeko Street is almost completely different because there are no restaurant tables and chairs, but there are many children just sitting around and playing. A view from Pile brings that special vintage feeling with all the old cars parked.
Nothing much to say, but – beautiful tour through the past.
