- Since the 14th century Lazareti building complex
- Description
-
was established as the first quarantine in Europe where anyone who wanted to enter Dubrovnik needed to stay for 40 days beforehand. The complex has since served many purposes and is now being revived as a common ground for different cultural content for the local community and the tourists as part of the ‘Lazareti Creative Hub of Dubrovnik’ project. Through this venture segments of the Lazareti complex were renovated and equipped for cultural-touristic programmes. Special interest was put on environment care by implementing LED lights in the Lazareti complex, and the building venues were adjusted to people with disabilities, whereas tourist guides were educated how to guide them. The general aim of the project is the improvement of cultural heritage management through valorisation the cultural heritage venues and spreading the cultural-touristic offer based on the cultural heritage of Dubrovnik.Find out more at: https://lazaretihub.com/en/press-releases/lazareti-once-and-today
