Dubrovnik Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Old Town Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Dubrovnik Cathedral is a baroque church building in the heart of the Old Town. The structure displays a limestone facade with arched windows, twin bell towers flanking the sides, and an elevated entrance accessed by a broad stone staircase.
The original structure was destroyed by an earthquake in 1667, and reconstruction was completed in 1713. European donors funded the rebuilding, reflecting the site's importance to the Christian world.
The cathedral houses a collection of religious artworks, including a crown-shaped reliquary of Saint Blaise adorned with Byzantine ornaments. These treasures reflect the city's connection to both Eastern and Western cultures.
The church is open to visitors during daylight hours, with guided tours offered in various languages throughout the day. Comfortable footwear is advisable, as the staircase leading to the entrance is quite steep.
The main altar displays a 16th-century painting depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, attributed to Italian master Titian. This work is among the most valuable paintings in the Adriatic region.
