About this spot
The Sponza Palace in Dubrovnik, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture with Gothic elements, is a testament to the city's rich historical and cultural heritage. Built in the 16th century, it served various administrative and commercial functions and was one of the few buildings to survive the 1667 earthquake. The Palace's striking facade, characterized by its elegant portico and harmonious blend of architectural styles, leads to an interior courtyard known for its ornate columns and intricate carvings. Historically a center for customs and the mint, the Sponza Palace now houses the city's archives, preserving invaluable manuscripts and documents. Its enduring beauty and historical significance make it a focal point for photographers and historians alike, capturing the essence of Dubrovnik's storied past.
