Dominican Monastery
Dominikanski samostan
A Gothic monastery in the northeast corner of the Old Town, with a peaceful cloister. Its museum holds masterpieces of the Ragusan school and Titian's Mary Magdalene.
The Dominican Monastery was founded in the 13th century. Its buildings were integrated with the city walls and once formed part of the city's defenses. The 15th-century Gothic-Renaissance cloister is planted with palms and orange trees and is very quiet. The museum holds works of the Ragusan school from the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the altarpiece by Nikola Božidarević, along with Titian's Mary Magdalene, gold and silver objects, and rare books. An admission ticket is required. It is less crowded, making it a good escape from the Stradun crowds. It is located near the Ploče Gate.
