Stari grad Dobrun se nalazi u neposrednoj blizini manastira Dobrun, 150 m visoko u stijenama. Bio je nekada najpoznatiji srednjovjekovni grad u ovoj oblasti , poznat još u 15. Vijeku. Sastojao se tvrđave sa župskim dvorom i tri kule-stražarnice. Nekada je bio sjedište crkvene i svjetovne vlasti za ove krajeve. Po narodnom predanju grad je oko 1440 podigla “ prokleta Jerina“, žena srpskog despota Đurađa Brankovića, ali se to ne može tačno istorijski potvrditi . U srednjem vijeku grad je imao i svoje podgrađe u kome su boravili dubrovački trgovci. Do danas su sačuvani samo ostaci kula, koje se mogu vidjeti sa magistralnog p**a.
The Old Town of Dobrun
It is located not far away from Dobrun monastery, 150 m high in the rocks. Long time ago this was the best known middle age town in the area, known as such since the 15th century.
The town was consisted of the fortress with the parish house and three sentry boxes. At that time the town was centre of the church and civil authorities for the area. According to the traditional stories told by people, the town was erected around 1440’s by the “damned Jerina”, the wife of the Serbian despot Djuradj Brankovic, but this cannot be clearly confirmed as a historic fact. In the middle age, the town also had its own suburbs where traders from Dubrovnik were staying.
These days we only see the remains of the towers, they are visible from the regional road.
