The Church of St. Ignatius is the Baroque Jesuit church on Ruđer Bošković Square in Dubrovnik's Old Town, built from 1699 to 1725 to designs by Andrea Pozzo. Gaetano Garcia painted the apse frescoes of the saint's life, a Lourdes grotto was added in 1885, and the Jesuit Stairs by Pietro Passalacqua lead down to Gundulić Square.
The Church of St Blaise, dedicated to Dubrovnik's patron saint, was built between 1706 and 1715 by the Venetian architect Marino Gropelli after a fire destroyed the 14th-century church. The domed Baroque building stands on Luža Square at the end of the Stradun, and its high altar holds a gilded silver statue of the saint.
The Franciscan Monastery near the Pile Gate was begun in 1317 and has a Romanesque cloister with paired columns and carved capitals. A pharmacy founded by the friars in 1317 still operates, and the monastery museum shows its old jars and instruments with books and church art. The church portal of 1498 survived the 1667 earthquake.
Dubrovnik Cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, was built in Baroque style between 1671 and 1713 after the earthquake of 1667 destroyed the Romanesque cathedral on the site. Inside are paintings by Titian and other Italian artists, and a treasury of reliquaries kept since the Middle Ages.
Sponza Palace was built between 1516 and 1522 by Paskoje Miličević in a mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles, with a loggia carved by the Andrijić brothers. It held the customs house, mint and treasury of the Republic of Ragusa and survived the 1667 earthquake. It now houses the Dubrovnik State Archives around an arcaded courtyard.
The Rector's Palace was the seat of the rector and government of the Republic of Ragusa until 1808. Rebuilt after a fire in 1435 to plans by Onofrio della Cava, it combines a Gothic building with a Renaissance portico. It now houses the Cultural History Museum, with period rooms, paintings and objects from the Republic's history.
The Dominican Monastery stands beside the Ploče Gate inside Dubrovnik's walls. Founded in 1225, its Gothic church of St Dominic was built from 1301 and consecrated in 1314, with a cloister and a 40-metre bell tower. The museum shows paintings of the Dubrovnik school, a Titian altarpiece, and manuscripts and incunabula from the library.
