Abstract

This paper describes the connection between the »Administrative Block« in Dubrovnik, the continuity of performing arts in that architectural area, and Marin Držić and his works. The modern »Administrative Block«, among other things, architecturally encompasses the Neo-Renaissance building that houses the Dubrovnik City Council and the Marin Držić City Theatre, and in the Renaissance period the former building of the City Hall and the Great Arsenal – Orsan stood on that spot. Despite architectural changes, the »Administrative Block« continues to incorporate the most important political, social and theatrical events in Dubrovnik.
