Željko Peković ; Zavod za zaštitu spomenika kulture Dubrovnik

Abstract

The author investigates spatial development of the northern part of Pustijerna quartet in Dubrovnik, between Pustijerna Street, Marin Držić Fleld and Damian Judas Street. This block of houses is called "sub varicos". The street has already been located by L. Beritić in the ground floor of the Bishop's Palace and its northern facade. An analysis of written records and the structures in Damian Judas Street has revealed earlier stages of development of this section of the city, its walls and the arsenal.
The author has located "sub varicos" street in the buildings along the city harbor and defined it as a supply street for the City Arsenal. The street stretched between the Arsenal buildings and the city wall that at that time ran along the northern side of Pustijerna Street. After houses were built on top of the Arsenal, with entrances from Pustijerna Street, vaulted passages were built above sub varicos street and from this derives its name. When the Arsenal ceased to function, the space of the street was occupied by the adjacent houses.
