What it is
A Ragusan code that regulates urban planning: street layout, building and drainage. With it the city applied an orthogonal plan and a large-scale sewer system.
The 1272 text is the oldest surviving compilation and regulates urbanism in detail (streets, drains, building); it gathers older rules. It is recorded as the city's institutional technology.
What it led to
- a planned medieval city with sanitation
- normative basis of the great Ragusan public works, such as Onofrio's water supply
