Sažetak

In Dubrovnik the sexteria are first mentioned in a Statute provision of 1309. Named as Pustijerna, St Mary, St Blaise, St Nicholas, St Peter and Castellum, they were also known under less formal names given after certain landmarks (most commonly churches). However, unlike Italian cities, medieval administrative division of Dubrovnik into sexteria (districts) failed to maintain continuity and after the Great Earthquake of 1667 can no longer be traced in private documents. The sexteria were reintroduced after the fall of the Dubrovnik Republic, in the censuses from 1807 and 1817, and in the description of real estate in the contracts of sale, wills etc. In the documents the sexteria often feature under other, parallel names. By the end of the nineteenth century all these terms disappear from legal documents, giving way to a new system of real property classification based on plot numeration in cadastral records.
