Franciscan monastery and museum

Franciscan Monastery and Museum, Franciscan Friary
Croatia, Dubrovnik
The construction of the Franciscan monastery began in 1317 and ended in the 1400s. Some buildings of the monastery were damaged and repeatedly destroyed, especially during the earthquake of 1667, when the monastery was badly damaged by fire. After that, it was reconstructed and completed.

The monastery houses the burial place of the great poet Ivan Gundulić, the founder of Croatian literature. The entrance to the museum at the monastery is paid, the exposition is small, it is a collection of religious works of art belonging to the Franciscan order. Citrus fruits grow in the courtyard.

The ancient Franciscan monastery in the ancient city of Dubrovnik in Croatia was founded in 1317 and is still in operation. The monastery can be viewed in part. Admission is free, but you have to pay 2 euros to visit the museum. Once it was considered one of the richest monastic complexes. There is a bell tower, a church and monks' cells. The entire visit takes 10 minutes. If you have already been to Catholic monasteries somewhere in the old cities of Europe, then you will not see anything new - several frescoes, altars and chapels.
