Rector's Palace, Dubrovnik

The Rector's Palace (Croatian: Knežev dvor; Italian: Palazzo dei Rettori) is a palace in the city of Dubrovnik that used to serve as the seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa between the 14th century and 1808.

The job was offered to the master builder Onofrio della Cava of Naples, who had previously built the aqueduct.

It became a Gothic building with ornaments sculpted by Pietro di Martino of Milan.

The capitals of the porch were reshaped in Renaissance style probably by Salvi di Michele of Florence.

In 1638 the Senate erected a monument to Miho Pracat (by Pietro Giacometti of Recanati), a rich shipowner from Lopud, who had bequeathed his wealth to Dubrovnik.
