Is Orlando's Column & Luža Square worth it for history buffs?
DependsFor history
For history & culture, Orlando's Column & Luža Square is hit or miss.
Small but loaded: this is where the republic's laws and death sentences were read aloud, where the Libertas flag flew, and the forearm carved on its base set the official Ragusan length unit (the 'lakat', ~51cm) that every cloth merchant in town measured against. Stand here and you're on the spot the city used to define both its freedom and its rules. The honest catch is that without the story it's a two-minute photo stop on a handsome square; the value is the history, so catch it on a walking tour or read up first.
