Summary/Abstract: In the Middle Ages, Dubrovnik was the main centre in which the population from its vicinity, among others from Dračevica, came in masses. The population from this area, primarily young population, went to Dubrovnik to find jobs and learn some craftsmanship. They found work in both the domicile population and the settled foreigners who acted both inside and outside the city. This young population in Dubrovnik were primarily servants and maids, with the male population studying crafts at the same time. Many servants went to Italy, and often travelled with their employers when traveling. Despite the fact that there were strict restrictions on the settlement of foreigners in Dubrovnik, many of those who went to Dubrovnik somehow found their way and did not get back to their places of birth. Many of them permanently stayed in Dubrovnik and married according to the customs of the city.
