Place to see: Knezev Dvor, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Late afternoon on the Stradun

Late afternoon on the Stradun

Stradun square in Dubrovnik's old town is really just a very wide street that makes an L shaped turn within the old city walls. In the background you see the Srdj mountain rising above the city.

About this place:

Just south of Luza Square is the Rector's Palace. It was the seat of the Ragusan (previous name for Dubrovnik) government. For 15kn, you get a self-guided tour of the palace and the rather lackluster City Museum. The building is of great historical significance and architectural interest. The palace's Renaissance atrium is a beautiful space in which concert recitals are held in the summer time.

Exhibits in the museum rotate throughout the year.
