St. Mary church and monastery at Danče

St Mary’s Church forms part of the convent complex at Danče, west of Dubrovnik’s walls. Its position above the bathing place and facing the open sea connects it with the seafarers who venerate Our Lady of Danče. Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception live in the convent, and Marian devotion remains an important part of this neighbourhood’s identity. The church and convent can be seen on the pedestrian descent towards Danče, where the stone buildings and shoreline form a closely related setting. It offers a different religious landmark from the larger churches along Stradun, centred on convent life and the sea.
