Dominican Monastery & Museum
A fortress-like monastery at the quiet eastern end of the Old Town, with a serene Gothic cloister, a fine collection of Dubrovnik-school Renaissance paintings and a treasury.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
The straight call: if you only do one monastery, do this one.
Our read - 02
Its Gothic-Renaissance cloister is the loveliest and reliably calmer than the Franciscan's at the busy Pile end, and the small museum punches above its size with Dubrovnik-school Renaissance painting and works from Titian's circle.
