Dubrovnik - Dominican Monastery
|
|
The Dominican Monastery has an interesting story concerning its construction. When the construction started in 1315, and the building and complex started to take form, the sheer size of the complex necessitated the movement outwards of the Dubrovnik city walls. Heavily damaged in the 1667 earthquake, the Dominican Monastery was rebuilt to its former glory through the hard work of the brothers and the city dwellers.
