Dubrovnik

This ancient walled city withstood Ottoman Turks, Napoleon and Hitler. Yet, Milosevic's Yugoslav Army almost got it in 1991. However, in past years with 2 billion dollars facelift the favorite Adriatic coast's tourist resort was brought back to life. Dubrovnik, now a part of Croatia, was, before Napoleon, an independent republic.
It's flag featured Latin word Libertas, which means "freedom". Republic of Dubrovnik was the first country to recognize independence and sovereignty of the United States of America in 18th century.
