Sažetak
The Old Port of Dubrovnik acquired its present appearance in the 15th century, when the Kaše breakwater was built. It was recently assumed that the first part was built in 1486, the second part in 1487, while the two parts were connected in 1498 and extended to the north in 1514. In addition to protecting the port from bad weather, the Kaše breakwater defended the city from enemy attacks, as chains were usually stretched from its sides, preventing access to the port. Today, the breakwater is in extremely poor condition and in need of renovation. In the framework of the APPRODI Project – From Ancient Maritime Routes to Eco-Touristic Destinations, funded within Interreg ADRION Programme, the Dubrovnik Development Agency DURA proposed the pilot project of Kaše breakwater research, with the aim of using it for eco- touristic purposes. This became the first-ever archaeological research performed in conjunction with geophysical and geological survey in order to attempt the reconstruction of the development of the Old Port of Dubrovnik. In support of that goal, historical research was conducted in the State Archives of Dubrovnik, which reviewed existing records and discovered new documents that illustrated the history of the breakwater, today's symbol of the Old Port. Based on the results of the archaeological, historical and iconographic research, we can propose slightly different construction phases for the Kaše breakwater.
