Dubrovnik Cathedral Treasury
The Basics
Dubrovnik Cathedral is ornate, with a facade of Corinthian columns and a colorful Titian triptych above the main altar. The treasury is filled to the brim with an eccentric collection of bones, limbs of St. Blaise encased in gold, and other relics from the 11th through 18th centuries, as well as many Italian paintings.
Private and small-group walking tours of Dubrovnik visit the Cathedral Treasury. Tours often also stop at other notable places around Dubrovnik’s Old Town, including Sponza Palace, Onofrio’s Fountain, the ancient city walls, Fort Revelin, and more.
