The most beautiful Dubrovnik palaces are famous for their beautiful and spacious terraces, the perfect places for enjoying the long summer days. We have found our favourite in the very heart of the city, more precisely at the luxury hotel The Pucić Palace. If you are looking for a very special dining experience in the Old Town and if you’re longing for a restaurant protected from the curious passerine views, La Capella is a place for you.
You will fall in love with this place on the first sight; The spacious terrace is located right above one of the busiest streets in the Old Town, an elegantly decorated rooftop complimenting the gentle live music and the irresistible scent of jasmine and citrus flowers. The beautiful Dubrovnik architecture surrounds you from all sides, and you feel like you stepped in another time. Unreal.
The name that conceals the mystery: La Capella
The chapel of the palace Pozza – Giorgi (Pucic Djurdjevic) is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Feast of the Sacred Heart is always celebrated the day after the feast of Corpus Christi (Dubrovnik: Korosante) which, in turn, governed by Easter. Although devotion to the Heart of Jesus already existed in the medieval mystics, and the earlier, widely accepted only in the late 17th century when it became a symbol of supreme love of Christ and the victim. The spread of this cult and time corresponding to the construction of palaces and chapels which were built in Baroque extensive restoration of Dubrovnik after the great earthquake of 1667. was, therefore, not surprising that the Sacred Heart of Jesus elected to the titular home of the chapel for a family devotion Dubrovnik patrician family. Picture for the altar of the chapel commissioned in 1938. by Dr. Felice Baron Mayneri, former owner of the palace, whose mother was the last, member of patrician families Giorgi where the palace in the 19th century belonged. Baron Mayneri edited the chapel after a while it did not serve the desire to renew our devotion to the Heart of Jesus established by his predecessors.
