Dominican Monastery

gorgeous little museum! the courtyard is worth a visit alone just for the vibes. I love religious iconography and manuscripts so this was perfect for me. a lovely little reprieve from the bustle of the city.

A former Dominican monastery, now open to all visitors. There is not much to see. You can walk through the cloister and the small inner courtyard and visit the small museum. There are many cult objects and gold jewelry, some old books, paintings. It is beautiful, but not out of the ordinary. The air is cooler as if under the arches of the cloister. But it is worth visiting. You need about 30 minutes maximum for the visit.

The Dominican monastery complex is located near the Ploce Gate and is an excellent opportunity for those who want to enjoy a cultural visit to Dubrovnik.

The Dominican Monastery is a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts exploring Dubrovnik. Its striking Gothic architecture, particularly the cloister, is a masterpiece of medieval design. The museum within houses a treasure trove of religious artifacts, including paintings and sculptures that offer a glimpse into the city's rich spiritual heritage. While the monastery's exterior may be austere, its interior is a serene and inspiring space. Take your time to appreciate the intricate details and the peaceful ambiance.

The Dominican monastery seemed to be deserted by tourists which was really nice as we walked around and had the place to ourselves. The only downside is the cost, as the monastery is not included within the Dubrovnik city pass so I had to pay an additional €4. There is also no English explanation inside and the explanatory leaflets were not available in English which was a shame

Pretty courtyard. Crowded with cruise ship passengers. Church is under renovation. Cost has increased to €5.

A beautiful early 14th century monastery tucked away near Dubrovnik’s east gate. When I visited (early May) there were hardly any visitors, I think in part because of the nominal fee for entry (the excellent DubrovnikPass only grants a slight discount). However, that fee is well worth the price of entry. This monastery, at least in my opinion, is even more captivating than the also excellent Franciscan monastery that can be found on Stradun. Its cloister is beautiful and well-maintained, and has seating that allows for a moment to take in the view. In the monastery’s library is a collection of fine works, greatest of all being a painting by Titian depicting Mary Magdalene and St. Blaise. Also attached to the monastery is a church, which was still undergoing repair as of May 2024 and was not open to the public. Highly recommended to anyone interested in medieval history, art, or even just a brief respite from the crowds!

Gorgeous monastery that's undergoing renovations/ restoration (as of this review). Entry fee is small compared to others, but the Dubrovnik Pass only saves you 1 euro.
