Create an itinerary including Upper Corner Tower Foundry Museum

Descend the corridors of Upper Corner Tower Foundry Museum and explore a well-preserved 15th-century foundry. A great collection of tools, pincers, keys, and canon ball molds lies amid stone warehouses, telling the story of the Republic of Ragusa's firepower program--developed in great secrecy in the period between Venetian and Ottoman suzerainty. An informative and enthusiastic guide will tell you all about geostrategy on the Adriatic, as well as the maritime strength of this small trading republic. The museum can be a little hard to find; look for a wooden door hidden next to a basketball court. You can plan Dubrovnik trip in no time by asking Klarna Trips to help create your itinerary.

This attraction which must have cost millions to install, takes you between the walls into what was once the Foundry that produced gunpowder and cannon balls. It's a complete maze, spooky in parts...

First point to note, this is not part of the wall walk. It is a separate tour which takes you over, under and through the western bulwark/towers, foundry and earthquake ruins. It doesn’t seem to be..... more

This is a hidden gem by the city wall. With 30 Kuna, one can escape the overly crowded Dubrovnik and the city wall. You would have the view of the old city, Fort St Laurence, Minceta tower and bird's-eye view of the Pile Gate. I was really glad that I found the entrance.

Worth the visit! hidden at the corner of a playground you will find the museum and will learn a lot of local history from the nicest guide (Divo).

This was awesome! This is a very quiet museum which few people go to but the upside is that we good a personalised guided tour. The foundry was fascinating and was really brought to life. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Very interesting museum situated under the basketball court. The guide is super enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the foundry. The tour was around 45 minutes long and only for a modest 30 kuna!

Hidden underneath a sports pitch/court is a brilliant escape from the tourist-hordes. Entrance is from inside the walls and a bit of a hike up “Ul. Celestina Medovića” stairs from the main thoroughfare “Stradum”. 30 Kuna (cash only) will give you entry and a guided tour through a very well presented archaeological site. Good for a wet day and/or just to escape for an hour.
