Sponza Palace Review

The Sponza Palace, the only remaining ground building after the Great 17th-century earthquake, blends with the Big Bell Tower as if time had solidified in the Middle Ages. The once-noisy customs building, once a noisy and windy past, is now part of the Dub historical archives. There is no place to see except the building itself.

The Sponza Palace is one of the few buildings that survived the Great Earthquake of 1667. Construction began in 1516, incorporating Gothic and Renaissance styles, and was designed by the then talented engineer of the Republic of Dubrovnik. It shows unique architectural characteristics with unparalleled beauty, and successfully realizes the possibility of harmonious integration of various styles.

Sponza Palace was built in 1516. It combines Gothic and Renaissance styles in design. The courtyard in the middle is completely surrounded by an arcade, showing unique architectural features. Originally used as a customs building, the Sponza Palace became the cultural center of the Republic in the late 16th century. Now the Sponza Palace is open as a tourist attraction. It's next to Luza Square, next to the high bell tower.

The only buildings left after the earthquake are too strong.

Situated opposite the Orlando columns, the Spongza Palace was built in the 16th century and remains basically the same today.
