Why Rector's Palace matters
Dubrovnik's rectors were elected for a short term and, tradition says, could not leave the palace during that time. The building shows off the republic's wealth and taste, with an arcaded courtyard that is also used for concerts. Inside, rooms and objects tell the story of the city's time as an independent state.
Talking points
- The elected rectors had a short term of office.
- The courtyard is used for summer concerts.
- The museum covers the republic's history.
