History
Named after Ivan Gundulić (1589–1638), Dubrovnik's greatest Baroque poet and playwright, whose imposing statue — created by sculptor Ivan Rendić and unveiled in 1893 — dominates the centre of the square. The square hosts Dubrovnik's morning market and has long served as an outdoor festival stage, particularly for Renaissance comedies and folk performances with the palace facades as backdrop. The Dubrovnik Summer Festival has used this square as an open-air theatre since its earliest editions.
