A huge problem during the 1991 agression on the City was pouring water. The City was cut from water supplies by the Serbian and Montenegrin aggressors. Fortunately, a few centuries old wells in the City were a good substitute. The photo is again from the main Stradun street. They are exhibited in the Memorial Room dedicated to Dubrovnik defeneders.
