About this tour
This session looks at the Church of St Blaise, dedicated to Dubrovnik's patron saint just off Stradun. You see the church's Baroque facade and then, inside, a silver statue of the saint holding a model said to preserve the city's skyline from before the 1667 earthquake. It is a small church carrying a large amount of civic history.
We start outside with a sound check, then move inside for the second stop, keeping the tone respectful given the setting. Questions are welcome throughout, and a short note follows the call.
It suits visitors with an interest in Dubrovnik's religious and civic history together. It also suits a booking around early February, when the saint's festival is at its liveliest.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
