The 50 Kuna banknote of Croatia shows an elevated view over the walled city of Dubrovnik. The best view can be obtained from Fort Lovrijenac or St. Lawrence Fortress, although the exact image from the note appears to be from higher elevation.

"Dubrovnik (historically Ragusa) is a Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea, in the region of Dalmatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Its total population is 42,615 (census 2011). In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of the maritime Republic of Ragusa, it achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries, as it became notable for its wealth and skilled diplomacy.
Although it was demilitarised in the 1970s to protect it from war, in 1991, after the break-up of Yugoslavia, it was besieged by the Serb and Montenegrin soldiers gathered in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) for seven months and suffered significant damage from shelling."
