Museums & Monuments

Dubrovnik’s cultural landscape is defined by its centuries-old Republic of Ragusa heritage. This collection features the Rector’s Palace, once the seat of government, and the Cathedral Treasury, which houses the relics of St. Blaise. Military architecture is represented by Fort Bokar, while the Ethnographic Museum Rupe occupies a former 16th-century granary. The list also includes the Orlando Column, a symbol of freedom, the monument to playwright Marin Držić, and the Maritime Museum, which documents the city's naval history.
