    The window doors are curious... they feel like a bunker. Is the sign also in Old Croatian and German?

    @Cristobal - the level of security is very strange. I'm not sure if there was something that needed such protection a few centuries ago and these guys renovated it according to the old blueprints or there's just an odd and seriously paranoid family living there :-D. Other windows in the old town don't have bars on them or such shutters. Yup, you're right about the sign :)

    Those window shutters are like a bank fortress!
