Rector's Palace

The Rector's Palace is a historic building that served as the administrative center of the Dubrovnik Republic. The palace is a mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, with a central atrium and a front portico. It was built in the 15th century and has undergone several reconstructions due to gunpowder explosions and earthquakes. The palace features impressive architectural elements, including a Baroque staircase and a bust of the sea captain Miho Pracat. Today, it houses the Cultural-historic Department of the Dubrovnik Museum, which showcases the original setting with antique furniture and objects for daily use, as well as paintings by local and Italian masters. The palace's atrium has excellent acoustics and is often used as a concert venue, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
