Regarded as the most prominent baroque poet from the Republic of Ragusa, Ivan Gundulic lived from 1589 to 1638. The monument itself was erected in 1893 in dubrovniks largest square, Poljana.

A very impressive tall bronze statue , located in the middle of Gundulic Square , in honor of the Poet Ivan "Macica" Gundulic , born in Dubrovnik in 1589 ( on January 8th like Elvis Presley , David Bowie , Stephen Hawking and....Kim Jong-un ) . In the very nice square , there is a picturesque fresh produce market every morning . Great place for people watching and great photo opps (The Cathedral dome behind the square) .

As the name implies, the square honors Dubrovnik-born poet Ivan Gundulić with a statue of the man and this square which is serves as a crossroads for visitors. It is the city market during the day, a nice area for outdoor dining in the evening and a wonderful place for photography all the time. Despite being a very interesting and scenic area, it is easily missed.
Once you have spent time along Pred Dvorom seeing St. Blaise, the Bell Tower, the Rector’s Palace and the Cathedral, stand in the street in front of the Rector’s Palace facing the cathedral. To your right you will see a small narrow street (Od Puca). Walk into Od Puca and in ½ block it will open onto Gundulić Square. Take the time to walk through the market, do some people watching and see the statue of Gundulić. Also keep looking up, as the area affords excellent photo ops of the cathedral dome.
When you are done head to opposite corner (kitty corner) of the market from where you entered and continue down Uz Jezuite to the beautiful steps usually filled with other picture-taking tourists. Climb the steps being sure to turn around to look at the street and square behind you, then proceed into the square at the top of the steps. On your right is St. Ignatius Church. Be sure to go in!

Memorial to Dubrovnik poet Ivan Gundulić and situated centrally in the old town. Extremely impressive and stands as a prominent landmark in a wonderful location.

If you are walking around the Old Town you are likely to come across the central square, which often has a market in it. However, I wouldn’t make a special trip to see it.

An important statue to Croatian culture and history, situated in a lively market square with local produce.
The statue has bronze relief panels below it, most interesting for GOT fans, one features Dubrovnik as a lady on her throne being attacked by a dragon representing Venice and a lion representing the Ottoman Empire.

Right in the heart of the square, and at the bottom of the famous stairs from Game of Thrones. Well worth visiting.

Located in the center of the old town.
The place is very beautiful.
The atmosphere is as wonderful as anywhere in the Old Town.
Lots of restaurants, cafes and shops .... It's worth a few minutes to take pictures. Nothing more.

More impressive than Orlando’s column in the close by Luza square.
There’s a few restaurants here but we visit every day to use the supermarket to stock up on cheap drinks (they are still expensive but cheaper than constantly using a bar of cafe).
