Dubrovnik: The Landfall — Bitter Orange & the Sea Gate
The Crossing begins at the sea gate. Two nights inside Dubrovnik's walls, where salt comes off the ramparts and bitter orange — Citrus aurantium — hangs over the marble streets in spring and again in September.
Within the walls stands one of Europe's oldest working apothecaries, kept by the Franciscans for seven hundred years. It is the right threshold for a journey about plants and memory: proof that a pharmacy of leaves can outlast empires. From here the road turns inland, toward the karst.
