Dubrovnik, the historic Ragusa Republic
The Roman Baroque Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built on the site of several former cathedrals and finished in 1713 by the Dubrovnik architect Ilija Katičić. Four Corinthian columns flank the portal of the façade. On top of the central part is a large Baroque window with a triangular gable and a balustrade with statues of saints. Damage to the Cathedral by at least one shell during the Siege of Dubrovnik in 1991 has since been repaired.
