About this audio guide
This guide to Prijeko ulica in Dubrovnik explains why locals nicknamed this restaurant row, just fifty meters off the Stradun, Bandit Street: not for muggings, but for the waiters working laminated menus of grilled squid outside every doorway. It traces the lane back to Dubrovnik's 1272 city statute, through the devastating 1667 earthquake that leveled most of the city, and to Prijeko Palace, the one building here that still hides a medieval interior beneath its rebuilt facade. Watch for how the tightly packed Baroque houses you see now went up in a hurry, function ahead of flourish.
