The seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa, and in the show the atrium of the Spice King's palace in Qarth, where Daenerys is refused ships. The courtyard is the thing — a cool, arcaded square of pale stone that is one of the finest Renaissance interiors on the Adriatic, and it stays cool in August when nothing else does. The museum inside covers the city's own history as an independent maritime republic, which is a more remarkable story than the one that brought you here.
