Since the establishment of the Dubrovnik commune, the authorities have undertaken various construction projects, and the fonds contains data on public construction in the period from the 16th to the 18th century. The information provided is related to the construction, upgrading and repair of waterworks, fortresses, mills, churches, monasteries, and state-owned town houses, _Lazarettos_ in the suburbs of Ploče, as well as of the town bell tower, and the slaughterhouse. Volume 131 is entitled _Fabbrica della casa in piazza apresso il Gheto, 1687_ and it refers to a palace located in front of the ghetto, on the main city street called Placa. The volume contains no information either about the ghetto, or about the Jewish people.
Paper. The archival material is well preserved.
The fonds has been linked to the archive since its inception. In times of the Dubrovnik Republic, the books of the fonds were stored in the Rector's Palace. The books remained in the Rector’s Palace after the fall of the Republic (1808). In 1891, the archives were consolidated and became available to researchers. The archive in the Rector's Palace has been functioning as an independent institution since 1920 and it was dislocated to the Sponza Palace in 1952, where it is still located today.
Three noble men were elected by the authorities of the Republic for the implementation of decisions on the construction of state buildings. They were in charge of organizing and supervising the construction. Starting in 1328, a permanent service of the so-called _officiales supra construendo domus comunis_ was established. In addition to the above mentioned, the authorities, if it was deemed necessary, would also elect other officials in charge of organizing and supervising other types of public construction, or upgrades on existing buildings and repairs.
