Dubrovnik Sailors - The beauty of Dubrovnik's architecture and culture owes much to its success as a seafaring city in generations past. Sea captains and shipowners, merchants and diplomats, politicians and admirals, many of these shone in their spheres on the world stage. The Dubrovnik Sailors exhibition at the Rector's Palace tells the whole story (3 Pred Dvorom 3, tel: 020 321 497).
