The Ragusa Republic, which is today Dubrovnik was an independent state in the Dalmatian Coast that lasted from the 14th century until the 19th century. It was a first class commercial harbour, and a prosperous and economically rich city.

It´s official languages were latin, italian, dalmatian, and the religion was predominantly catholic. It´s population was approximately 250,000 inhabitants during it´s best moments. During the Ottoman Empire period it turned into a Christian and Catholic Republic, and maintained a great relationship with the Ottomans, to the point that when they inviated the Balcans, Ragusa was exempt.

The golden age for Ragusa came during the 14th century when it became part of the Croatian kingdom, yet it still had it´s independence and autonomy. It great moments took place during the 15th and 16th centuries, a time when the city rivaled with Venice in Italy.

The Ragusa Republic has also had dark episodes like that of the 1667 earthquake that destroyed a large part of the city. The Napoleonic Invasion also caused great damage.
