The Lazzarettos of Dubrovnik are a series of stone buildings originally constructed in the 17th century as a quarantine station for ships arriving from distant ports. Today, these restored structures host a vibrant array of cultural events, including open-air markets, film screenings, and live performances. Visitors can stroll through the arched courtyards, browse local crafts and produce, and enjoy the unique blend of history and contemporary life. The complex sits just outside the Old Town walls, offering a quieter yet equally atmospheric experience.
