Lazzarettos of Dubrovnik, Quarantine station in Dubrovnik, Croatia
The Lazzarettos comprise ten multi-story buildings connected by five interior courtyards, spanning 300 meters from the city walls along the coastline.
Construction of the Lazzarettos began in 1590 and finished in 1642, serving as a critical quarantine facility for merchants and sailors entering the Republic of Ragusa.
The complex now functions as a cultural center following a 33.7 million kuna renovation project that transformed the historic quarantine station into exhibition spaces.
Modern facilities include LED lighting, smart benches, and accessibility features for visitors with disabilities throughout the renovated sections of the complex.
The Republic of Ragusa established the first known quarantine regulation in 1377, requiring travelers to isolate on remote islands before entering the city.
