Franciscan monastery

The Franciscan monastery and church stands facing Stradun, the main street in Old Town Dubrovnik. The church is a simple structure with an eye-catching landmark bell tower when seen from the street, but inside it hides a beautiful cloister surrounding a courtyard covered with greenery. The monastery, which includes a library with a valuable collection of books, a pharmacy that has been in business since the 14th century, and other historic facilities, is one of the most popular attractions in the old town.
