Rector's Palace
Pred Dvorom 3
21000 Dubrovnik, Croatia
The Rector's palace is a harmonious Gothic and Renaissance palace with certain Baroque additions. In 1296 the building is referred to as castellum. The term palatium - palace first occurs in the documents in 1349, and the later documents use the term palazzo maggiore - major palace. After the fire of 1435 which gutted the building and its towers the government decided to build the new and more beautiful palace. Today the Rector's palace is the home to the history department to museum of Dubrovnik. In addition to style furniture numerous portraits and coats of arms of the noble families, paintings of old masters, coins minted by the Republic, the original keys of the city gates, and the number of important state documents are on permanent exhibit in the palace.
This reception is open to all delegates and registered guests.
