Ragusa's Golden Age, 1550
This is Ragusa at the height of its maritime and diplomatic power: a compact limestone city-state whose merchants and fleet rival those of Venice. The walk moves from the Adriatic approach through the eastern harbour, along the Stradun past Sponza and the Rector's Palace, and finishes on the high city walls looking over the fleet and the patrician gardens of the coast.
34 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Dubrovnik as it stood in 1550 (“Republic of Ragusa”).
