Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Croatia, Dubrovnik
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a Catholic cathedral of the diocese of Dubrovnik, an architectural monument in the Italian Baroque style.

The current building of the cathedral stands on the site of several previous churches, the earliest of which dates back to the 6th century. In the 12th century, a Romanesque church was erected on this site, which stood for five centuries and was completely destroyed during the catastrophic Dubrovnik earthquake of 1667. Immediately after the earthquake, the Senate of the Republic of Dubrovnik entrusted the development of the project for a new cathedral to the architect Andrea Bufalini. The architecture of the cathedral is based on the traditions of the Italian Baroque.

On the main altar there is a polyptych by Titian (circa 1552) depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The Cathedral Treasury is a collection of over 200 religious art artifacts, many of which are of significant cultural and artistic value.
