Climb from the square
Begin at Gundulić Square and climb the Jesuit stairs to St Ignatius
Pause clear of the stairway so the steps remain usable
This short section already includes a climb; the route is not a step-free alternative to Stradun
Continue towards Rupe
Follow the lanes to Rupe Ethnographic Museum, then Marin Držić House and the Orthodox Church of the Annunciation
Rupe occupies a former granary and adds everyday regional history to the church façades
For a shorter outing, finish at St Ignatius
