Dubrovnik was the center of development of Croatian language and South Slavic literature, and the birthplace of many important poets, writers, philologists, painters, mathematicians and physicists.

These new discoveries are based on finding remains of the ruins of the cathedral, which was at the site of today's cathedral. The old founders of Dubrovnik, fleeing the Avaris from the destroyed Epidaurus (today's Cavtat), came to the island of Laus at the foot of Mount Srđ and decided to settle there. In time, the island was connected with the mainland of the present-day Dubrovnik.
