Abstract
An excavation on the site of the 'Gornji ugao' tower, in the north-west corner of the walled city of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, uncovered evidence for a foundry established in the second half of the 15th century and largely producing armaments. It is a rare example of this type of industrial site, and its position within the city walls makes it unique. Excavation has provided information on the technical subdivision and spatial logic of the site. Activity at the foundry ceased after the Great Earthquake in 1667, which devastated the entire city, although part of the site continued in use as a foundry, on a smaller and more improvised scale.Arheološka istraživanja provedena na lokalitetu Kula Gornji ugao, na sjeverozapadnom uglu povijesne jezgre Dubrovnika, dokazala su postojanje ljevaonice koja je počela funkcionirati u drugoj polovici 15. stoljeća. Spada u rijetke sačuvane objekte takve vrste a smještena je unutar gradskih zidina što je čini jedinstvenim primjerom. Pronađeni dijelovi arhitekture ljevaonice omogućili su potpuno razumijevanje tehnološke podijeljenosti i logike prostora. Upotreba ove ljevaonice na sjeverozapadnom uglu grada zamire nakon Velikog potresa 1667. Manji dio lokaliteta kasnije je ponovno u funkciji također kao ljevaonica, no više na improvizacijski način.
