Dubrovnik
The Franciscan monastery and one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe, Stradun, the cathedral treasury and a boat along the walls.
Dubrovnik. Former city-state, modern-day city-museum, UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, and definitely the pride of Croatia. Located in the southernmost part of the country between mountains and the blue waters of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik has been viewed since bygone times as desirable territory by both European and Byzantine rulers. Walk with us and discover its treasures.
First on our must-see list is the Franciscan monastery. Notable for its old pharmacy, the third oldest in the world, not to mention the library with its collection of 20,000 books, over 1,200 of which are manuscripts of extraordinary value, the monastery has what is probably the most beautiful Romanesque cloister in Dubrovnik and in all of Croatia. Its ambience is peaceful and harmonious.
From the quiet premises of the monastery, we enter vibrant Stradun, the promenade of Dubrovnik. We visit the cathedral dedicated to St Blaise, visionary protector of the city, where you may admire the treasury full of artefacts from Dubrovnik's ancient goldsmiths, reliquaries and other sacred objects.
Finally we reach the harbour, board a small ship and embark on our journey along the city walls. A perfect opportunity to take some incredible photographs of the fortifications. Come and enjoy your day in this unique city.
