Stradun

The Franciscan Church and Monastery

Admission Admission Included
3
Little Onofrio Fountain

Marvel at Onofrio’s Fountain, a 15th-century masterpiece that once brought fresh spring water to the city. With its 16 carved masks and circular design, it’s both a practical marvel of engineering and a symbol of Dubrovnik’s ingenuity and resilience.

Duration 10 minutes
4

Jesuit Staircase

Climb the grand Jesuit Stairs, one of Dubrovnik’s most photogenic spots, often compared to Rome’s Spanish Steps. Built in the 18th century, they lead to the beautiful Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius and have become iconic for their baroque elegance — and their starring role in Game of Thrones.

Duration 20 minutes
5
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Discover the majestic Dubrovnik Cathedral, built on the ruins of older churches with funds from England’s King Richard the Lionheart. This Baroque masterpiece houses priceless artworks and relics, including a treasury that reflects the city’s deep religious and cultural heritage.

Duration 10 minutes
6
Rector's Palace

Step inside the Rector’s Palace, once the seat of power in the Republic of Dubrovnik. This elegant Gothic-Renaissance building tells the story of a city governed by wisdom and diplomacy, where the elected Rector lived and ruled for just one month — to prevent corruption and ensure fairness.

Duration 10 minutes
7
Sponza Palace

Admire the graceful Sponza Palace, a rare survivor of the 1667 earthquake. Blending Gothic and Renaissance styles, it once served as a customs house and center of trade. Today, it stands as a tribute to Dubrovnik’s rich commercial and cultural legacy — and houses the city’s touching memorial to fallen defenders.

Duration 10 minutes
