description
All the transcriptions of the city councils deliberations were uploaded to a database that was structured as map-searchable. Solely for that purpose, a special map was created, under the supervision of Danko Zelić, and in accord with the state of art concerning the urban development of Dubrovnik. The map presents the city’s layout in the first half of the fifteenth century. In total, there are 160 dots inserted into the map segments, which lead to the pages with the transcriptions that refer to a certain building or space.

description
The building of new and the improvement of old fortifications lasted throughout the 15th century. Out of a total of 3362 transcribed deliberations from the first half of that century 5.44 per cent refer to the fortifications and 2.29 to the city gates. The given examples here refer to the deliberation that required the separation of the buildings of the Dominican Convent from the city walls (1), and that required the demolition of the parts of private houses that were leaning towards the city walls (6). In order to organise defence, it was necessary to provide free access to the fortifications. Therefore, a street along the walls was created. However, it was decided that this street should not spread into the southeastern part of the city, where female Benedictine monasteries were situated. The deliberations testify to the government concern regarding the necessary respect for clausura (4). The case of turris Sanctae Margarite, where the church cloister was arranged, was special. (5). The turris illorum de Menziis, also known as the Minčeta Tower, was improved as well. (2). This tower got its final form in the second half of the 15th century, when master Michelozzo di Bartolomeo Michelozzi from Florence, and the best master in Dalmatia, Juraj Dalmatinac, were involved in work. The architectural drawing of its ground floor and the cross-section show the medieval rectangular tower that is still preserved inside.

description
Domus dominorum – the houses given by the commune to the politically-important noblemen from the hinterland were carefully embellished. Out of a total of 3362 transcribed deliberations from the first half of the 15th century, 5 per cent refer to the houses of Dukes Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić (1), Radoslav Pavlović (2) and Sandalj Hranić (3). The quantity of those that refer to Sandalj’s house prompted further research and resulted with schematically outlined ground plans and front elevation as well as ground plan of the construction and floor surface of the ballatorium. These were used in making 3D model. The locations of these houses is indicated on the first preserved Dubrovnik map, form the 16th century. The map is held at the Archivo di Stato di Torino, and was published by Ilario Principe.

The lost chancel screen was made for the church of St Roch in Dubrovnik in 1564. Its design is considered and its graphic reconstruction proposed on the basis of the data in two contracts stipulated between the officials of the lay confraternity of St Roch and Jacob de Spinis, a sculptor of French origin resident of Dubrovnik. Although completed and placed in its position in due time, the chancel screen of St Roch was soon to be removed.
