Here, in the "Red Keep", one of the most important events of the Games of Thrones took place in the second season - the Battle of the Blackwater.
Fort of Saint Lawrence or Lovrijenac, Dubrovnik
Here at the fortress battles took place not only in the series, but in the history also. Its entrance is decorated with the inscription: "Freedom can not be sold for all the treasures in the world." It reminded everyone that if the enemies come from the sea, then the 12-meter-high walls will withstand the attack, but if someone decides to betray the king and attack from the inside, the fortress will not stand long.

An important fact is that a huge eternal fortress was built just in 3 months, when the local people learned that the Venetians were going to build their fortress on it, then they accelerated very quickly and when Venetians arrived they came upon a very big real wall with thousands of citizens standing here and showing indecent gestures :)

If only for the Venetians in that moment had the same map of underground passages under the King's Landing that Lord Varis brought to Tirion then possibly now on the site of the King's Lan ... sorry, Dubrovnik, a huge Venetian had been standing.
