Between the 14th and 16th centuries, Dubrovnik’s noble families built more than 300 summer residences across the wider Dubrovnik region, from Lapad and Gruž to Cavtat and Slano. Originally created as private estates surrounded by gardens, terraces and cultivated land, these residences later became places of retreat where literature, philosophy, art and the cultural spirit of the Dubrovnik Renaissance quietly flourished.
Defined by their Gothic and Gothic-Renaissance architecture, these villas remain among the most significant historic residences of the Adriatic and the wider Mediterranean region.
While many of these summer residences have unfortunately disappeared over time, a small number have been carefully preserved and continue to live on today.
Kazbek is proud to be one of them.
