Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

This 14th-century church and monastery contains a pharmacy museum and a world-renowned collection of ancient manuscripts.
Reviewed By SESNoVA - Annandale, United States
Duck around the corner, and pay your fee just past the ‘modern’ pharmacy, and enter a peaceful cloister. In the back corner is a small museum with religious art and writing that predates the great earthquake , including a cityscape showing real Ragusa. There’s also an old pharmacy display which is well done.

Situated at the end of Prijeko Street, the Church of St Nicholas was originally pre-romanesque. After several rebuildings over the last centuries, its facade is of the late Renaissance now. Most impressive is the 13th-14th painting of the Madonna inside.

The Church and the benedictine convent are constructed on the location of the Castellum, oldest Dubrovnik fort. They date from 12th century, and was restored after destruction in the great 1667 earthquake. This church no longer holds the services.

Reviewed By lawrencenash - New York City, United States
This church is located in the old City. It is relatively new in those parts--late 19th century, and clearly signifies a minority house of worship in Catholic-dominated Croatia. But the murals in orthodox-Byzantine style are gorgeous. Apparently there exists a museum, which wasn't open. The little chapel building in front has a wonderful assortment of triptych, Diptych, miniatures depicting various Orthodox figures, and are worth a look.
10. St. Saviour Church

Reviewed By natpokr - Cork, Ireland
15th century St Saviour Church is the first building on your left when you enter the old town at Pile Gate. It is easy to pass by as it is so small. The church is beautiful inside and a perfect cozy venue for a candlelight concert of chamber music which often takes place inside. You can buy tickets at the door from 8 pm and concert starts at 9. It is lovely to be in Old town in the evening with crowds and the heat of the day gone and to finish the day with nice music.
