There are many (many) reasons to buy the special Digital Nomad Pass whilst in Dubrovnik. And we are going to go through them one at a time – starting with the glorious Rector’s Palace in the very heart of the historic Old City of Dubrovnik.
The Rector's Palace, or Knežev dvor, is a historic building located in the heart of Dubrovnik, Croatia. It is one of the most significant landmarks in the city and is situated on the eastern end of the main street called Stradun.
The Rector's Palace served as the seat of government and residence for the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa (the former name of Dubrovnik) from the 14th century until the Republic's downfall in 1808. The Rector was the elected head of the city-state, similar to a modern-day mayor or governor.
The palace itself is an exquisite blend of architectural styles, primarily Gothic and Renaissance, with some Baroque elements added during later renovations. The building has undergone several reconstructions throughout its history due to fires and earthquakes, with the most recent reconstruction completed in the 20th century.
Today, the Rector's Palace serves as a museum and cultural centre, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of Dubrovnik. Visitors can explore the palace's various rooms, including the Rector's office, the council chambers, and the prison cells. The museum exhibits artefacts, documents, and artwork that provide insights into the political, administrative, and cultural life of the Republic of Ragusa.
Additionally, the Rector's Palace houses occasional art exhibitions and cultural events, including concerts, theatre performances, and lectures. Its central location makes it a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the city's past grandeur and significance.
When visiting Dubrovnik, exploring the Rector's Palace is a must-do for history enthusiasts, as it offers a captivating glimpse into the city's rich and intriguing past.
