Top 10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Dubrovnik, Dalmatia
Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

Very nice space, cushioned away in the old city. It was an unexpected surprise as Dubrovnik doesn't have a major Muslim population; Croatia doesn't either, even though being next to Bosnia.

We came here with Vesna, who leads Jewish tours of Dubrovnik (Dubrovnik Jewish Heritage Private Walking Tour), who we found through her company’s link to the synagogue on Trip Advisor. The synagogue is beautifully preserved, still active (on occasion), and both the sanctuary and museum contain exquisite Torahs and other examples of Judaica, as well as historical documents and information. We would have enjoyed it on our own, but having Vesna there enriched our visit enormously. We learned the history of the Jews in Dubrovnik and on the Adriatic coast, which was quite different from what we usually think of regarding Croatia. Vesna was knowledgeable, interesting, informative and personable. We were so glad we spent our afternoon in Dubrovnik with her and got to learn all about the synagogue and both the Croatian and Jewish communities.

The Dubrovnik Cathedral is the home of the Cathedral Treasury where there is a great collection of over 200 silver and gold objects, displayed behind a glass barrier, to view these objects you have to pay a small fee to the female custodian who guards the entrance. Once inside you will see the arm, hand, leg, and Head of Saint Blaise covered in gold, also supposedly a piece of the true Cross from Jerusalem, and the 2021 years old swaddling clothes of the baby Jesus from Bethlehem. There is also a lovely 13th century Romanesque-Byzantine icon of Madonna and Child. If you have time it’s worth a visit just for curiosity sake. TIP: It was 5:00 Euros to get in and you are not allowed to take flash photos. If you found this review informative please check the box below. Thank you, the world is yours to explore be safe.

The Church and the benedictine convent are constructed on the location of the Castellum, oldest Dubrovnik fort. They date from 12th century, and was restored after destruction in the great 1667 earthquake. This church no longer holds the services.

Find this corner of Dubrovnik, and enter the church (currently under renovation but impressive), and then go around the corner to pay to enter the cloister and museum. When we were there, the tour groups weren’t (around 1pm), and we got to enjoy the quiet and the space, and a very nice small museum of religious art(really well done), including altarpiece paintings, votive offerings, and interesting reliquaries. It may not happen all the time, but it was a peaceful space for us!

Lovely ruins and interesting museum sharing the history and the GOT filming information. Free entry once you arrive on the island with your boat ticket.
10. Franciscan library
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2 reviews
This rich library within Franciscan monastery contains more than twenty thousand volumes. Some of these are very valuable, like the famous "Judita" by Marko Marulić - the only preserved copy of the first edition, or early transcript of "Osman" by Ivan Gundulić.
