Cathedral of the Assumption

Admire the Baroque architecture, see the Titian painting, and visit the treasury to view the gold-plated relics of Saint Blaise.

In their own words: “Right around the corner from the Rector's Palace stands the Dubrovnik Cathedral, a high-drama Baroque masterpiece built after the original was flattened by the 1667 earthquake. Legend has it that Richard the Lionheart funded the first version as a thank you for surviving a shipwreck nearby.”

Explore the Cathedral of the Assumption to see its post-earthquake architecture and the notable Titian painting above the main altar.

In their own words: “A short walk from Recctor's Palace brought us to Dubnik's main cathedral. It was built after the earthquake rising from the ruins of an earlier church... what's definitely real is a Tian painting from 1552 hanging above the main altar.”
