The Dubrovnik Cathedral

  The Dubrovnik Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, is situated in the heart of the Old Town, adjacent to the Rector's Palace. Originally constructed in the 12th century, it was rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1667, resulting in a stunning Baroque architectural style. This cathedral serves as the seat of the Diocese of Dubrovnik and is a significant religious site for those visiting the area. In December, the cathedral beautifully hosts Christmas festivities, attracting both locals and tourists. Visitors can explore the interior, which houses an impressive collection of relics, including the ornate 12th-century altar and several works of art.
