Sažetak
The work presents a comprehensive development of the quarantine, from isolation in the open air to the imposing architectural complex ; from diseases that left a deep trace in the history of the City to contemporary scientific research that not only helps treat the disease but contributes to the humanization of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, understanding of victims and protection of their human rights. We pointed out that both leprosy and plaque are extinct in Europe, as well as other diseases that require isolation of the victims. In the past, infectious diseases represented great danger, but today, a different kind of infection occupies that same space in the Lazaretto. In that context, this text discusses the link between the past and the present, and closes the circle between the reason the Lazarettos were built, i.e. stigma nad isolation, to the birth of the creative quarter.
