In the thirteenth century, in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, Venice became an important power in the Mediterranean, which caused profound change in its political, territorial and economic ambitions. The main strategy of Venice was to maintain the sea route from the northernmost point in the Adriatic to the Levant, and therefore it was crucial to dominate politically over the Eastern Adriatic: the cities there could serve as points of departure or safe harbours in which Venetian vessels could be sheltered and supplied with merchandise, food, water, and manpower. One of the ways to incorporate the Eastern Adriatic cities into a common area of governance was to construct recognizable public buildings, and to introduce and standardize a legal and administrative order that was mainly adapted to the central political entity, but also served the local urban communities. This paper follows the changes that were directly or indirectly mirrored in the urban structure of the cities during the thirteenth century: primarily the design of urban spaces (especially public ones) and the construction of public buildings linked to governance, defence, trade or administration. During the thirteenth century, one can follow the development of Venetian ambitions and their focus on particular areas or activities (economic, military) in the state, as well as the activities of Venetian patricians holding the governor's offi ce. Naturally, the local circumstances and the local population had a crucial impact on the formation of urban space, but this paper focuses primarily on the role of the Venetian administration in this respect.

The article traces the history of the Volcassio family estate in medieval Dubrovnik. This noble family was among the greatest urban property owners, whose members participated actively in the political and economic activities of the city. The estates of Volcasio Johannis (Vukas Ivanić) and his sons Pasqua and Damianus Volcassio have been identified, along with those of other family members, all mainly located in the suburb south of the Plaça (later centre of the town), which include the plots of land used for housing or rent. By grounding the research on a wealth of original documents entered into the computer database, the authors analyse the positioning and expansion of the Volcassio family estates with regard to legal regulation, social conditions and urban communal development which peaked in the second half of the thirteenth century.

The paper focuses on the spatial distribution of Dubrovnik's urban elite, observed on the examples of the families of Matijaš de Mençe and Anđelo Ljutica, in the period from the late 13th to the mid-14th century and the time of Black Death. Using the methods of social topography and prosopography, the authors have studied the interrelation of the social and ownership statuses of these families, addressing the question of their social and spatial interconnections. In the early 14th century, both families belonged to the elite urban circles, but with a key difference: one of them was noble, and the other a family of commoners. ; U radu se prati prostorni razmještaj dubrovačke gradske elite na primjerima obitelji Mençe i Ljutica u razdoblju od uvođenja notarskih spisa (posljednjih desetljeća 13. stoljeća) do sredine 14. stoljeća (vremena Crne smrti). Kombiniranom metodom socijalne topografije i prozopografije autori su nastojali pratiti međuodnos društvenog i posjedovnog statusa ovih obitelji, te raščlaniti pitanje društvene i prostorne povezanosti dviju obitelji, koje su obje po svom statusu početkom 14. stoljeća bile dijelom elitnog gradskog sloja, s ključnom razlikom po kojoj je jedna bila plemićka, a druga pučka. Autori su nastojali naglasiti povezanost društva i prostora u srednjovjekovnom gradu. U radu su ubicirali nekretnine koje su posjedovali ili kojima su se koristili pripadnici nekoliko generacija spomenutih obitelji. Analizirano je njihovo grupiranje u određenim zonama dubrovačkoga predgrađa (kasnije središta grada) koje su ovisile o obiteljskim i profesionalnim vezama, ali i općem razvoju toga dijela grada. To je razdoblje vrlo dinamično u gospodarskom, demografskom, društvenom ali i urbanističkom smislu. Grad se intezivno razvijao i prostorno širio prema sjeveru, gdje su se oblikovale nove poslovno-stambene zone te političko, administrativno i gospodarsko središte grada. Epidemijom kuge 1348. godine te dolaskom Dubrovnika pod vlast ugarske krune deset godina kasnije završava jedna faza društveno-prostornog razvoja grada, u kojoj su obitelji Mençe i Ljutica bile poslovno i obiteljski aktivne.
