Dominican Church and Monastery in Dubrovnik

The Dominican monastery stands on Sv Dominika, between Sponza Palace and the route out towards Ploče. Its cloister provides an enclosed garden beside one of the main pedestrian approaches to the Old Port. The museum’s paintings by Dubrovnik masters and religious objects offer an artistic theme distinct from the coastal fortifications nearby. The monastery church and museum belong to one complex but serve different purposes, combining a place of worship with a collection. Link the monastery with Ploče Gate and Revelin to compare religious architecture, a city entrance and the defences of Dubrovnik’s eastern approach within a compact walk.
