Park Orsula

This guide to Park Orsula in Dubrovnik starts with a nagging question: does the amphitheater built into these hillside ruins seat five hundred or three hundred fifty, and why has nobody ever settled it. It traces the story back to around 2003, when a local named Andro Vidak looked at the burned remains of a fourteenth-century chapel on this old caravan route and decided to rebuild the stage himself. He gathered a small band of enthusiasts who loved this hillside, and for six years they hauled and set stone without machines or a blueprint.
