Utjecaj obitelji Stjepović-Skočibuha na strukturiranje naselja Suđurađ na otoku Šipanu
Impact of the Stjepović-Skočibuha Family on the Urban Structuring of Suđurađ on the Island of Šipan

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the impact of the Stjepović-Skočibuha family in shaping the settlement of Suđurađ on the island of Šipan near Dubrovnik. It discusses the social, economic, and cultural context of Šipan in the 16th century, with special reference to the development of Suđurađ. Biographical data of the progenitors of the Stjepović-Skočibuha family are presented, who are merited with the construction of two representative summerhouse and economy assemblies in the settlement, which over time became the main landmarks of Suđurađ. The starting hypothesis of the research is that the summerhouse assemblies of Tomo and especially Vice Stjepović-Skočibuha significantly influenced the urban structuring of the settlement. The stylistic characteristics and organization of the two building assemblies and the associated lands have been analysed in relation to the settlement, with a detailed transcription of the Austrian cadastre from the first half of the 19th century, including an analysis of land ownership and uses of individual land plots, which confirmed the starting hypothesis. The heirs of the family were still the majority owners of buildings and land plots in Suđurađ at the time.
