Hidden story

The only statue

The republic honoured just one ordinary citizen.

Read the storyClose

The Republic of Ragusa did not put up statues of its rulers. The only statue it ever raised to a citizen stands in the palace atrium: Miho Pracat, a sailor and merchant from the island of Lopud who left his fortune to the republic in 1607.
