Is Dubrovnik Cathedral & Treasury worth it as a couple?
Worth itAs a couple
As a couple, Dubrovnik Cathedral & Treasury works.
The pull here is the treasury: behind it sits one of Europe's great reliquary hoards, headed by the gold-and-enamel skull-case of St Blaise, the city's patron, paraded through the streets every 3 February. For the relic-curious and lovers of Byzantine-Baroque goldwork it's a genuine draw; the cathedral nave itself is a calm, free, quick Baroque cool-down after the 1667 earthquake rebuild. The honest catch is that for non-believers the church is a brief look and the treasury carries its own small charge — a worthwhile stop rather than a destination.
