St. Saviour Church

St. Saviour Church is a Gothic house of worship from the 16th century located in Dubrovnik's Old Town. It features a limestone facade with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and carved stone ornaments that define the Gothic style of that era.

The church was built in the early 16th century as a votive offering from the city following a major earthquake. Its construction was part of Dubrovnik's efforts to rebuild and safeguard itself during a time of recovery.

The church serves as a quiet refuge where locals and visitors pause during their exploration of the Old Town. Its simple interior creates a space for personal reflection within the bustling historic district.

The church is centrally located beside the Franciscan Monastery and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can enter during daylight hours and should wear respectful clothing since it remains an active place of worship.

The building survived the destructive 1667 earthquake that demolished much of Dubrovnik without sustaining serious damage. This resilience reveals the exceptional skill and care that went into its original construction.
