Gradska kavana Arsenal Restaurant

The Gradska kavana Arsenal sits inside the medieval stone walls of the old city, housed in a structure built in the sixteenth century to serve as the naval shipyard for the Republic of Ragusa. While the heavy arches once protected galleys under construction, the space later became a public ballroom and coffee house. In nineteen seventy-eight, a local woman named Jelena noticed that the tables were arranged exactly where the master shipwrights formerly laid out their blueprints for wooden hulls.
