 | Dubrovnik Rector's Palace Reviews | 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
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. I would put it under tourist traps, but the building itself has enough historical significance and architectural interest, that I didn't feel totally ripped off. Plus, the ticket girl was hot!
Inside, there are some exhibits of some rather boring artifacts, but the former jails are at least moderately interesting and the palace's Renaissance atrium is a beautiful space in which concert recitals are held in the summer time. Leave a Comment

When you are tired of walking in the sun, you can walk under the shade of Rector's Palace (Knezev dvor) arches. At the very beginning, in the Middle Ages, it was a fortress for defense where gunpowder was kept. It had exploded and burnt often. In the 15th, after one such accident, the famous architect Onofrio rebuilt it with one level, gothic style. After a new gunpowder explosion, in 1463, it was built another time in Renaissance style. After the 1667 earthquake, baroque parts were added. This mixture of styles is what makes the Rector's Palace so unique. Leave a Comment

As one would expect from this tiny proud enclave, the way they were dealing with political and economical issues was … not boring.
At the atrium of Knezev dvor there is a water well, where all inhabitants were free to come, collect water, wash their clothes and talk. This forum was always full of action, people laughing, arguing, and even fighting! No secret could stay hidden within this city walls!
Today this atrium serves as one superb concert venue, with perfect acoustics for chamber music. Leave a Comment

The museum of the Rector's Place houses artwork and furniture, giving insight to how the Rector lived here on their official duties. The Rectors of Dubrovnik governed for a period of one month only before a new one was elected and during this time he lived, alone, without his family. He could leave the palace only when engaged upon some state business; otherwise he was not allowed to leave it. The Place has an internal courtyard and off this are the interesting little prisions too - have a look for the carving of the dragon on the right hand side of the entrance.

The city-state of Ragusa was ruled by a Knez, Rector. Rector was appointed for one month and was not allowed to leave the palace except for state affairs.
The building houses the town museum with art and historical exhibits. The ticket is 25 kunas (2007) or 50 kunas for a combined ticket to the Rector’s palace, ethnographic and maritime museums and Marin Drzic’s house.

Knežev dvor (the Rector's Palace) is an outstanding monument of secular architecture, not only in Dubrovnik but on the whole Adriatic coast. The government of the Republic commissioned Onofrio della Cava from Naples to built this magnificent two-storey Gothic and Renaissance palace with a pillared porch. The sculptural ornaments of the palace, including the capitals, were made by master Pietro di Martino from Milano. A gunpowder explosion occured in the armoury of the palace in 1463 and heavily damaged it. The renewal was entrusted the famous architect Michelozzo di Bartolemeo of Florence who was reconstructing the city walls at the time. It appears that the plans were too much in th style of the Renaissance for the tastes of the conservative Major Council, so they rejected them. Michelozzo left Dubrovnik and the work was continued by other builders. Leave a Comment
