St. Blaise church, Dubrovnik, Church building on Gorica, Dubrovnik, Croatia

St. Blaise church on Gorica is a large votive church oriented east–west, with a rectangular plan and a semicircular apse. Its facade has a portal and a rose window, and it ends in a bell gable. It stands on a ridge above the sea, on the site of an older church rebuilt in 1857.

A church dedicated to St Blaise stood outside the city walls on Gorica by 1255, as recorded in donation documents, with a hermitage for nuns beside it. The present building was raised on the remains of that older church in 1857. Because the votive church sits on a geological fault line, it was rebuilt and repaired during the 19th century, with further interventions in the 20th. Archaeological investigation and restoration followed in 2010.

The church is dedicated to St. Blaise, Dubrovnik's patron saint, and stands on Gorica above the city, facing the sea. It was the first church of the saint built outside the city walls, documented by a deed of gift as early as 1255. A hermitage for nuns once stood beside it.

The church stands on Gorica, on the hill above the city, facing the sea, reached on foot from the old town. It is a votive church built on a geological fault, so the building has been repaired and altered more than once. It was archaeologically investigated and restored in 2010.

The church stands on a geological fault line on Gorica, which is why it was rebuilt and repaired in the 19th century and altered again in the 20th. Archaeological investigation and restoration followed in 2010. A bell gable, not a full tower, crowns the facade.
