Did You Know?
In 1377 the Republic of Ragusa ordered arriving ships to wait thirty days on a nearby island before entering — the trentino. It was soon extended to forty days, quaranta giorni, which is where the word quarantine comes from.
The clock: Dubrovnik keeps UTC+1. Its city walls run about two kilometres and were never breached, which is the other half of the same defensive instinct.
