About the museum
Dubrovnik took possession of the fortress in 1420, when continuous work on extensions, remodelling and strengthening began. The fortress remained under Dubrovnik rule for around two and a half centuries and was abandoned after the earthquake of 1672. It served to defend Konavle against external enemies, and the surrounding population could take refuge in it in times of danger. Its present appearance dates largely from the 15th century; the irregular oval ground plan follows the shape of the rock. The fortress extends over three levels: the Kamen level, the outer walls and the upper fortress (the Citadel). The restoration lasted from 2007 to 2013, and in April 2013 the restored Sokol grad opened to the public. It is managed by the Društvo prijatelja dubrovačke starine (Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities).
