The Sponza Palace is a 16th-century palace in Dubrovnik, Croatia, built in a mixed Gothic and Renaissance style between 1516 and 1522 by Paskoje Miličević Mihov, with its loggia and sculptures crafted by the brothers Andrijić and other stonecutters. Its rectangular plan surrounds an inner courtyard, and it has served as a customs office, mint, armoury, treasury, bank and school. It survived the 1667 earthquake without damage and now houses the Dubrovnik State Archive. It is listed in the Register of Cultural Goods of Croatia.
