Dominican monastery

The Dominican Monastery in Dubrovnik is one of the city’s most prominent and historically significant landmarks, an important part of Dubrovnik’s rich heritage. The monastery is located in the eastern part of the city, within the city walls, and is known for its architectural beauty and rich collection of art and culturally significant objects.

The Dominican Monastery was built in the 14th century and has been expanded and rebuilt several times throughout history. The monastery’s architecture is an impressive mix of different styles, including Renaissance, Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic. The monastery church, which is one of the most beautiful Gothic rooms in the eastern region, with its Gothic elements and detailed facade, is particularly outstanding.

The monastery complex has a spectacular art collection that includes a collection of paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries, including works by both local artists and foreign masters such as Paolo Veneziano and Titian. In addition, the monastery’s elegant library is home to 220 different books and manuscripts, offering visitors a comprehensive insight into the city’s history and culture.

The church has been the burial place of several important people in the history of Dubrovnik. The luxurious courtyard of the monastery offers a peaceful place to contemplate and enjoy the beauty.

While the Dominican Monastery itself may not have been a filming location for Game of Thrones, the Old Town of Dubrovnik as a whole has been one of the main filming locations for the series, portraying King’s Landing. The monastery and its surroundings have definitely contributed to the visual atmosphere of the series, thanks to its historical and architectural beauty.
