"Račić Mausoleum, Cavtat A visit to the picturesque town of Cavtat, south of Dubrovnik, must include a visit to the imposing mausoleum of the Račić family. The tomb, on a hill overlooking the town’s waterfront, is worth the shady climb. Built of bronze and white stone, the mausoleum, designed by Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović, is quite moving—especially the carved angel faces floating in the dome, waiting to guide the departed to heaven."
The graveyard where the mausoleum is situated is free to visit and offers fine views of the sea & coast. There's a small entrance fee for Mausoleum itself, I think €4, but it's worth having a look inside where there are written guides in several languages telling you about this family burial place and explaining the design and significance of the interior decorations.

The Mausoleum of the Racic family by Meštrović is a peaceful and well-kept burial site with beautiful architecture.
There are two ways to reach it one from the harbor with many steps and the other with a smaller path and fewer steps on the opposite side of the hill. The entrance fee is €4,-
Once at the top, you're rewarded with stunning views of the bay, making it well worth the climb.

What a beautiful peaceful place
With the most amazing views !!
Worth to make the steps going up then you can go down by the road you end up on other side if you take left or back to town to the right

Stunning - don’t miss it if in Cavtat, well worth the climb up the steps.
A sad story though - worth reading the information sheets inside, which are well written and in multiple languages.
Also good views from outside across to Dubrovnik.

It costs €4 to enter, and it’s a long climb. But the faces inside are wonderfully creepy, and you can enjoy a great view.

The monument itself is a mausoleum of a rich family of shipbuilders from Cavtat, while the architectures of it and sculptures are the masterpieces of famous Ivan Mestrovic. It says it was his first commission. There is a quiet cemetery on the spot and a nice view.

Peaceful place of rest to privileged few of Cavtat. Pity you need to pay 20kuna to see inside building. Scenic views from graveyard.
