Rector's Palace (Knežev dvor)

The seat of the Republic of Ragusa's government

About

The Rector's Palace was the seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa from the 14th century until 1808. It also held the Minor Council, the state administration, an armoury, a powder magazine and a prison.

Today it is part of the Dubrovnik Museums, and its courtyard is one of the Old Town's best-known interiors.
