Sponza Palace In Dubrovnik

This 16th century Gothic styled palace has been used variously over the period of time. Originally built as a customs house, it was later converted into a mint, later it became the state treasury and then a bank. Now it has the State Archives where manuscripts can be found dating back to nearly a thousand years. There is also a Memorial Room where black and white photographs of those young men are displayed who died in the war of the 90’s. It is situated north to the Luza Square and is very popular among the tourists.
