Sažetak
On the basis of councils’ decisions, accounting records of the Dubrovnik’s foundling home (Hospitale misericordiae), sale contract, and other sources, the locations of the Dubrovnik’s foundling home buildings from the foundation until abolition are established. Various ownerships and functions of the last building used as a foundling home at Pile are examined. The change of locations of the buildings are connected with urban development. During its half a millennium history the foundling home of Dubrovnik occupied at least four different buildings: one inside the city walls, two at the western suburb of Pile and finally within the hospital complex near Boninovo. The change of locations was influenced by the 1667 earthquake and possibly the 1691 plague. The last building to be occupied by the foundling home at Pile was later used as a restaurant and today hosts a tourist information centre.
