Rector's Palace Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, Croatia

About Rector's Palace Dubrovnik

The seat of the Ragusan Republic's government for centuries — a beautifully harmonious Gothic-Renaissance building housing the Cultural History Museum. The atrium with its Cipiko bell and the rector's apartments are atmospheric and less crowded than the walls and old town.

Dubrovnik City Walls

The most complete medieval defensive walls in the world — 1,940 meters of limestone walls up to 6 meters thick, with 16 towers and forts encircling the entire Old Town. The 2-hour walk along the top provides non-stop views of the Adriatic and terracotta roofscape. The world's finest city wall walk.

🏛️

Old Town Dubrovnik

UNESCO-listed and one of the most perfectly preserved medieval cities in the world — a car-free limestone city of Baroque churches, Renaissance palaces, and the legendary Stradun main street. Devastated in the 1990s war and painstakingly rebuilt; every stone has a story.

🏛️

Fort Lovrijenac

The most dramatic fortress in Dubrovnik — a 37-meter-high triangular fort built in 1018 on a sheer cliff outside the western walls, bearing the inscription 'Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro' (Freedom must not be sold for all the gold in the world). The terrace views over the city walls are the finest in Dubrovnik.
