A very small and nice church.

The Old Town is full of fantastic architecture and is probably the most preserved medieval town we’ve seen during our travels. Though crowded, it’s truly breathtaking and a must visit. From the churches to narrow alleyways and everything in between, you won’t even have time to put away your camera.
The views of the city never disappoint, so depending on your style, you can either walk the city wall or take a cable car to the top of Mount Srdj, or do both!response / report this review -

Great Roman Baroque sacral architecture. The Dubrovnik Cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven, was built from 1671 to 1713 (original design by Andrea Buffalini of Urbino, modifications by Paolo Andreotti of Genoa, Pier Antonio Bazzi and Tommaso Napoli, finished by the Dubrovnik architect Ilija Katičić in 1713) on the place of the Romanesque cathedral (12th c.) that was completely destroyed in the great earthquake of 1667. The interior is richly decorated and above the main altar stands Tizian's triptych ("The Assumption of the Virgin Mary") from the16th c. (relocated from, now demolished, St. Lazarus Church in Ploče neighbourhood near the old city). It is a seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dubrovnik (the Archdiocese from 1022 to 1828).
During the 1980s excavations, ruins of another cathedral (dated in the 7th or the 8th c. with Byzantine and Pre-Romanesque architectural characteristics) were found beneath the remnants of the destroyed Romanesque cathedral. Note: In 2016 the old baroque main high altar was restored and put back on its original place.response / report this review -

Such a nice place. We stayed in the old town, fanastic local food (seafood was the best ever!) we walked around the walls for a better view of the place. The Cathedral is really nice too!

Disappointing. I went twice with two different tours. I would give it a 4 stars for the history that they have regarding to the importance of this Cathedral in the history of the city but aside from that, it’s nothing spectacular especially if you are headed over from other parts of Europe.

If you are in Dubrovnik, don't miss a chance to visit it. It's a really nice place for walk in the old castle.

Simple but really nice cathedral. Went there for a free organ concert. Always worth a stop.

The Cathedral and all the surroundings are great. At night it is a perfect place to go there and eat, drink while listening to the music that you like (there are places with local bands but even with jazz bands). The only disadvantage is that in summer it is very difficult to park your car in the downtown. The few garages are getting full very fast and also the parking places on the street.

Lovely marble altars and sculpture. It's small and free. Worth ten minutes. They are doing reconstruction work.
