The session of the Council were held in the fortress, and the treasuries of the Republic and of the cathedral were transferred there, and so was all other wealth which was saved from the ruins and fires following the earthquake. The top of Revelin is a huge stone terrace, the largest in Dubrovnik, used in summer as a stage for many events of the summer festival. The Fortress of St. John, often called Mulo tower, is a complex monumental building on the southeastern side of the old city port, controlling and protecting its entrance. The first fort was built in mid 14th century, but it was modified on several occasions in the course of the 15th and 16th centuries, which can be seen in the triptych made by the painter Nikola Božidarevič in the Dominican monastery. The painting shows St. Blasius, the patron saint of Dubrovnik.
