Ancient fort city in Croatia
Lubenice, historically known as Ljubenice or Zubjenice, is an ancient fortified settlement on the Croatian island of Cres. It sits on a ridge 380 m-high (1,250 ft) above the Adriatic Sea and may have been inhabited as early as 4,000 years ago. Today, Lubenice is a small local centre with around forty buildings and only six permanent residents. Most of its structures are built from the same stone as the surrounding cliffs. Part of the settlement dates back to the Roman period. The town was once walled, although very little remains of the walls apart from two gates and some of the eastern portion. There are 9 churches in the town; an unusually high number for its population, explained in part by the relative financial independence of the town in the late medieval period. Today, it is almost a ghost town for most of the year, but in the summer it is a prominent tourist destination for its beaches, cliffs and proximity to Lake Vrana.
