Baroque Ragusa, 1780
Ragusa in 1780 is the aristocratic Republic rebuilt in a restrained Baroque after the catastrophic 1667 earthquake and still governed by its patrician institutions. The walk passes the Stradun's pale limestone pavement and uniform houses, the new cathedral and Saint Blaise's church, the harbour and shipyards, and the public stairs and squares where civic ceremonies and everyday commerce meet.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Dubrovnik as it stood in 1780 (“Republic of Ragusa”).
