The Dubrovnik Cathedral (Katedrala Velike Gospe) is a striking Roman Catholic cathedral and the seat of the Diocese of Dubrovnik. Rebuilt in the Baroque style during the early 18th century on the site of earlier churches destroyed in the devastating earthquake of 1667, it stands as one of the city's most important religious and architectural landmarks.
Key Highlights:
- Architecture: Designed by Italian architect Andrea Buffalini.
- Fine Art: A richly decorated interior housing paintings by European masters, including Titian, Padovanino, Palma il Giovane, and Savoldo.
- Treasury: A renowned collection of sacred art and relics reflecting Dubrovnik's historical connections with the Mediterranean world.
