Abstract: This paper examines the construction and spatial development of the Old Dubrovnik Hospital from its founding in 1888 until its relocation to Medarevo. Based on archival sources, contemporary newspapers, and official documentation, the study traces the evolution of the hospital’s facilities, focusing on expansions, modifications, and adaptations to growing medical needs. The analysis highlights key phases of infrastructural investment and spatial reorganization, situating these within the broader socio-economic context of Dubrovnik in the late 19th and 20th centuries. This research contributes to a better understanding of the material and spatial history of healthcare institutions in Dubrovnik.
