Dominican Monastery

Dubrovnik's Dominican Monastery and church was built around the same time as the city walls and looks it. In contrast to the Franciscan Monastery, the Dominican Monastery looks very much like a fortress and reflects rich Ragusa's concern for security in an unstable political environment. Nevertheless, the monastery remained an important centre of philosophy and theology from its founding in 1390 right up to the 20th century.
