Detail
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin in Dubrovnik (1671 – 1713) occupies a prominent place among Croatian cathedral buildings. Emerging during the reconstruction of the city after the earthquake in 1667, the monumental three-aisled Baroque basilica with a dome uniquely combined not only the high aesthetic standards of the Dubrovnik commissioners and the Roman architect, but also the individual leaders of construction from Rome, Sicily and Dubrovnik. This monograph brings together for the first time in one place the comprehensive contemporary literature on the cathedral, interpreting this exceptional monument and the entire historical and cultural complex in its regional, Adriatic, and I would say even Mediterranean context – and not just during the emergence of the Baroque building that we see today, but also the earlier phases, which are attested to primarily by the archaeological findings. /// ///
