Gemme nascoste a Ragusa

Hidden Gems of Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik’s historical core features architectural landmarks ranging from the 15th-century Large Onofrio's Fountain to the Gothic-Renaissance Rector's Palace, once the seat of the Republic of Ragusa. The Dominican Monastery houses a significant collection of Renaissance artworks, while Gundulić Square hosts a daily morning market centered around a statue of the city's famous poet. The list also includes the historic Ploče Gate entrance, the iconic City-Bell Tower at Luža, and the secluded Benedictine Abbey ruins on Lokrum Island, known for its local monastic legends.
